How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A lunchtime Christmas party in Grazeley is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Grazeley questions
Is Grazeley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Grazeley?
Reading Green Park station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Send the allergen list round before the party
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
China crockery is available on request.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
