Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who does not eat pork
- Label alternatives clearly
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Old Warren: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Old Warren?
Aldermaston station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Old Warren?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
