Hosting a hog roast party in Finchampstead
Finchampstead is about 2 miles north-west of Yateley, in Wokingham. We are happy to travel to Finchampstead for parties. We cater 35 places across Wokingham, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Finchampstead to Reading (about 8 miles away).
A green space like Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Crowthorne station, about 1.7 miles east.
For parties in RG40, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests.

Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Eversley Centre (1 mile south-west), Eversley Cross (1 mile south), California (1 mile north-west), Eversley (1 mile west) and Lower Common (2 miles west).

Where the roaster can go in Finchampstead

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
