Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We get there early to start the roast, so it’s cooking when guests arrive.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A wet-weather plan for guests
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Planning a party in Speen
Speen is about 1 mile north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Planning a hog roast for your party in Speen? We can help. We cover all 155 towns and villages across West Berkshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Reading, about 16 miles away.
Nearby historic houses include Benham Park (0.9 miles west) and Shaw House (1.4 miles east). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Victoria Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
Here we cover the RG14 and RG20 postcode area. Your party could be at a house on Bath Road, Pound Lane and Speen Lane, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Other places close to Speen we cover include Bagnor (1 mile north), Speenhamland (1 mile east), Donnington (1 mile north-east), Stockcross (1 mile north-west) and Shaw (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Thatcham (4 miles east), Burghfield Common (12 miles east), Hungerford (7 miles west), Calcot (13 miles east), Lambourn (11 miles north-west) and Burghfield Hill (13 miles east).
Well-known places in the area include British Balloon Museum & Library Ltd (1.1 miles east) and Donnington Castle (1.1 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Rack Marsh.
- Nearby schools include St Bartholomew's School (1.1 miles south-east)
- Local pubs include The Starting Gate pub (0.5 miles north-east)
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children typically like it too.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Speen questions
How far is Speen from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: the roast cooks for hours and the smell travels. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Can we cook it ourselves?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works.
