About our party hog roast in Jealott's Hill
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. Popular choices include jacket potatoes, apple sauce and coleslaw, and we’re regularly asked to cater christenings and naming days and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries.
Near Jealott's Hill, parties are often in gardens or fields. Let us know about access, and we’ll plan the route. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- Allergies we should know about
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode

Planning a party in Jealott's Hill
Jealott's Hill is about 3 miles north of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Jealott's Hill. We cover 41 places across Bracknell Forest. We cater events right across the region, from Jealott's Hill to Reading (about 10 miles away).
After a christening at a church like Church of St Michael and All Angels, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Within reach of Jealott's Hill are historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill (4.5 miles east) and Dorney Court (4.9 miles north-east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler.
Parties anywhere in RG42 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Whether your party is on Gough's Barn Lane and Maidenhead Road or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
We set up in the agreed spot, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Describe the space and the way in, and we will tell you if it works.
What about the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. They may want a roll.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Jealott's Hill, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
