A hog roast or other catering?
If the hall or pub provides food, ask whether outside caterers are allowed. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Amen Corner questions
What’s the nearest station to Amen Corner?
Bracknell station, about 1.3 miles east of the centre.
Is Amen Corner close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if the service runs late?
That’s fine: we hold the food until people arrive.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from the building and any trees
- A hall or room for eating
- Permission from the hall or venue
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

For event organisers in Amen Corner
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Most wakes in Amen Corner are held in the afternoon, so light is rarely a problem, though in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
