Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in North Heath
What’s the nearest station to North Heath?
The closest is Newbury station, roughly 4.8 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to wash up?
Yes, we clear up after service, so there’s very little washing up.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A picture helps.

- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Occasions we serve in North Heath
You are a host, not a cook, because we do the cooking and serving.
Lots of different events suit a hog roast. Typical bookings include:
- Big family get-togethers
- Engagement parties
- Anniversary parties
- Back-garden get-togethers
After a christening at a church like Church of St Mary, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, you get to enjoy the party. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- Parking close to the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
