Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station

How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evenings in Tickleback Row stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Think about shelter for your guests

Common questions in Tickleback Row
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Tickleback Row?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is crackling included?
Of course: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
