Yattendon: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Yattendon?
Goring & Streatley station, about 4.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you cover Yattendon?
Yes, Yattendon is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
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.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Is a hog roast right for your party?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For event organisers in Yattendon
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your party. For an evening party in Yattendon, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

How we price a hog roast for your party
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
