Hog roast for events in Caversham Park Village, carved to order

Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the roaster would go.
Could you cook in Ali's Pond Local Nature Reserve?

We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.

For event organisers in Caversham Park Village
