How we price a hog roast for your party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Menu choices and extras
A hog roast is often 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.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A heads-up for next door
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests

Grazeley is about 4 miles south of Reading, in West Berkshire. Wherever your party is in Grazeley, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Grazeley is one of 155 places in West Berkshire we cover.
For guests coming by train, the closest railway station is Reading Green Park station, roughly 2.1 miles north of the centre. A christening at Holy Trinity Church followed by a hog roast at home is a simple, popular plan.

Close by, we cover parties in Spencers Wood (1 mile east), Beech Hill (2 miles south), Swallowfield (2 miles south-east), Riseley (3 miles south-east) and Heckfield Heath (4 miles south-east).

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Grazeley is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Grazeley
How far is Grazeley from London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Let them know in advance, especially if the roaster is near a fence.
