Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Wokingham
Which station is closest to Wokingham?
Wokingham has its own station: Wokingham station.
How far is Wokingham from London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, as well as the hog.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.

We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By about 3:55pm in late December, Wokingham is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
