How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Tidmarsh, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Party venues around Tidmarsh
Tidmarsh is about 5 miles west of Reading, in Oxfordshire. We cater parties at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Tidmarsh and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to 443 places in Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.
After a christening at a church like Church of St Laurence, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Within reach of Tidmarsh are historic houses such as Mapledurham House (2.5 miles north-east) and Basildon Park (2.5 miles north-west).

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Think about children’s portions
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.

What else we do in Tidmarsh
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, you’re not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- All the equipment comes with us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Tidmarsh
Is Tidmarsh too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Tidmarsh from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Does the roaster have to be outside?

Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.

Most gardens can work, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a picture.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you are happy to roast and carve, yes. Catering is the easier option.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
