Clapton questions
What’s the nearest station to Clapton?
The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Swithin: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
What is hog roast hire?
You choose the date, the menu and the serving time; we do the rest. All we need is a place to cook outdoors.
Is all of West Berkshire covered?
We cover West Berkshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We will be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
