Slow-roasted pork in Wokingham
Party hog roast in Wokingham, slow-roasted on site
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will check it with you. Popular choices include apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater big family get-togethers and retirement parties.
A large place like Wokingham has lots of party venues, but a hog roast in your own garden is hard to beat. Tell us about side access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, which keeps it hot and moist.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- Travel to Wokingham
- Crockery choices
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Any venue rules
Send us the date, the address or RG40 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Wokingham, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
