Corporate hog roast in Reading: what to expect
Whether it is twenty people or a whole site, we size the roast to your numbers. Tell us the numbers and the serving window and we will quote. We are often asked to cater customer days and staff thank-you lunches, serving spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling.
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn.

Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.

How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

It can be dressed up, with plates or china.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you cover Reading?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
