Our corporate hog roast in Wokingham
Sites typically have rules for outside caterers: vehicle access, gas equipment and where we can cook. Pass on your site’s requirements. We’re frequently asked to cater client hospitality and retirements and long-service awards, with hog roast rolls, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check site access and send a price.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- We pack away and leave the site as we found it.
What you will pay
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Is a hog roast right for you?
Compared with a formal plated lunch, it is less formal and normally costs less.
Comparing caterers
- The full menu and the sides
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- Where the roaster goes and what it needs
- What the price includes, item by item
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Flat ground in a car park or courtyard
How we price a hog roast for your team
The biggest factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- Distance from us
- Time on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A photo of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
For event organisers in Wokingham
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Questions from Wokingham
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Can you work to our lunch time?
We plan the roast around your break. Rolls keep service quick.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
