Common questions in Aldermaston Wharf
How far is Aldermaston Wharf from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do a hog roast in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you need a car park?
Anywhere suitable and approved, outdoors and under cover.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We follow your site’s sign-in and safety rules, and keep vehicles where you ask.
Salads and coleslaw make it a fuller lunch.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
