Our Christmas hog roast in Reading
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re frequently asked to cater late-night shopping events and december open days, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
What you will pay
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Christmas parties across Reading
Across Reading, festive bookings range from works car parks to village halls. Let us know about the spot and the route.
Caversham: Caversham is on or near the B3345, so we can reach it easily in winter. If a church like Grace Church is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Caversham are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
Occasions we serve in Reading
It’s different from the usual Christmas set menu.
We are regularly asked to cater a wide mix of occasions near Reading, such as:
- Work Christmas parties
- Christmas markets
- Society Christmas socials

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
