Questions from Kingsclere
Which station is closest to Kingsclere?
The closest is Thatcham station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
Is Kingsclere close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your shoot. In December, daylight in Kingsclere ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check the route and send a price.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
