Midgham: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Midgham?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is Midgham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you cover Midgham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Midgham and the rest of West Berkshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Midgham 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 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

- Staffing on the day
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
- What the price includes, item by item
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
