Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian

We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.

A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- An itemised quote
- Our staff serve and clear

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In December, Hook End is dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A queuing area
- A firm way on and off the field
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Coleslaw
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Hog roast rolls
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Hook End questions
Is Hook End too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Hook End?
Pangbourne station, about 3.8 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you do fêtes?
Yes, fêtes are a natural fit. Send us the details.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your visitors will want somewhere dry to eat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
