What else we do in Riseley

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.

Planning a party in Riseley
Riseley is about 6 miles west of Yateley, in West Berkshire. Parties in Riseley are part of our patch. Riseley is one of 155 places in West Berkshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Riseley to Reading (about 6 miles away).
Within reach of Riseley are historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (1.7 miles south-west). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. If you had Wellington Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park.
For parties in RG7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. From Chapel Lane, Norton Road and Odiham Road or anywhere nearby, we will bring the roaster to you. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Swallowfield (1 mile north), Heckfield Heath (1 mile south), Heckfield (1 mile south), Beech Hill (2 miles north-west) and Bramshill (2 miles south-east). Further out, we also cater in Thatcham (13 miles west), Burghfield Common (5 miles north-west), Calcot (7 miles north-west), Shaw (15 miles west), Burghfield Hill (5 miles north-west) and Theale (7 miles north-west).
A little further out are Beaumys Castle (1.2 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include The Marshes Local Nature Reserve and Longwater.
- Local pubs include The Bull at Riseley pub (within half a mile west)

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. A summer party in Riseley stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Think about children’s portions
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
