Event catering for Wokingham
Event catering in Wokingham, cooked on site
We’re a mobile catering company: we bring the kitchen to you. For events in Wokingham, we cook a hog roast, a barbecue or both on site, with our staff serving and clearing. We’re often asked to cater film and TV crews and community fun days, with beef burgers, hog roast rolls with crackling and spit-roast lamb.
Big-town venues in Wokingham sometimes have approved caterer lists, so check before you book. Private gardens and clubs rarely have that problem. Every quote lists the menu, staff and what’s included.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Pulled pork
A pulled pork roll is a barbecue favourite.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Choosing caterers in Wokingham
Next to a cold buffet, our food comes hot, straight from the roaster or grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:

- Let us know roughly how many children are coming
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
What catering costs
The price comes down to:
- Plates or china
