- Event approval for hot-food traders
- A firm way on and off the field
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Eddington
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Here’s what we will ask:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Roughly how many people
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
