How our party hog roast works in Burghfield Common
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Whether it is wedding anniversaries and big family get-togethers, we will put together a menu of coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce and more.
In a place like Burghfield Common, a party at home is usually the easiest option. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we will do the rest. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, it is light in Burghfield Common until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Preparing for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Your date and serving time
Every party is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your party: use our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cooking for everyone yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Planned to your running order
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Think about children’s portions
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Warn the neighbours: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
