Your questions about a hog roast in Three Mile Cross
Which station is closest to Three Mile Cross?
The closest is Reading Green Park station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Pearman's Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
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.
Do you come to Three Mile Cross?
Yes, Three Mile Cross is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Is hog roast hire catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Three Mile Cross, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast needs no kitchen and fewer staff, which typically keeps the cost down. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
