Your questions about a hog roast in Farley Hill
We are gathering after a service at St Eligius: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Farley Hill?
Wokingham station, about 4.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is all of West Berkshire covered?
All of West Berkshire is in our area. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Which meats and sides you’d like
If you are comparing hog roast caterers for Farley Hill, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

Comparing caterers
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- How dietary needs are handled
- Any travel or access charges
- The full menu and the sides
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
If timings shift, tell us: we can hold the roast for a while.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
