How party hog roast works in Wokingham

After a christening near Wokingham, a hog roast in the garden feeds the whole family, and nobody misses the celebration. We serve apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for retirement celebrations and milestone birthdays.

A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time.

It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.

Parties across Wokingham: homes and halls

Parties across Wokingham are mostly at home, in halls and at clubs, from Reading, Woodley and Earley to small villages. A hog roast suits every one.

Reading: Among the historic houses close to Reading are Mapledurham House (3.6 miles north-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. For party guests on the train, Reading West station is about 0.7 miles away. In Reading, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.

The menu, dish by dish

Crackling

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food

Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.

Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

What affects the price in Wokingham

Whether you want china
Which meats and sides you choose
Numbers

A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Catered or do it yourself?

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Wokingham questions

Is there a non-pork option?

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?

Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.

Is crockery included?

We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

What’s the price?

Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.

What if it rains?

We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

When should we book?

Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.

What do you need from us on the day?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
