Aldermaston Soke: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Luke's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we will give you an honest answer.

The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Where the roaster can go in Aldermaston Soke
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- A word with the neighbours
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
