Slow-roasted pork in Tilehurst
Christmas hog roast in Tilehurst, carved to order
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. For december open days and year-end thank-yous, we can cook apple sauce, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls for your guests.
In Tilehurst, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late-December sunset in Tilehurst comes at about 3:55pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Catered or do it yourself?

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The venue or postcode
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Send us the date, the address or RG31 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
