Book a hog roast in Aldermaston Wharf
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Party hog roast in Aldermaston Wharf, carved to order
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw, and typical bookings are for leaving and retirement do’s and naming ceremonies.
In a small place like Aldermaston Wharf, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll plan the route. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

What else we do in Aldermaston Wharf
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Aldermaston Wharf questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you work around our timings?
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.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Do we need a marquee for a party hog roast?
Not for the cooking, but a gazebo or indoor space for guests is a good backup.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved to order by a chef
- Planned to your running order
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. A summer party in Aldermaston Wharf stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the date and the garden or drive, then send a quote.
- We arrive in good time and start roasting.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
