Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
About the food
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Other occasions in Headley
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. A summer party in Headley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, 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.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Headley questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Headley?
Thatcham station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need to wash up?
We tidy the serving area.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we get the amounts right.
Why choose a hog roast in Headley?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
