About our party hog roast in Crowthorne
Plan where the roaster will go: level ground outdoors, clear of the house and fences. We’ll check it with you. We serve a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and jacket potatoes, and we’re often booked for wedding anniversaries and family reunions.
Garden parties are a favourite in Crowthorne, with a local hall or club as a good back-up. All we need is a level spot with clearance. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Common questions in Crowthorne
Can you cater after a service at Crowthorne Methodist Church?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Crowthorne close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
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.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Your menu choices
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Request gluten-free rolls
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can bring everything through.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At midsummer, it’s light in Crowthorne until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
