Running an event in Reading
Rural events in Reading frequently need traders who bring everything with them, and town events in Caversham, Norcot and West Reading need quick service for bigger crowds. A gas-fired hog roast handles both.
Caversham: If you’re organising a summer fair or sports day for a school such as The Hill Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Running a fête for a church like Grace Church? A hog roast draws people in. Summer events in Caversham have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Your trader requirements
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
For event organisers in Reading
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
