Hog roast catering in RG6: local guide
RG6 covers everything from Reading, Woodley and Earley to 0 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast suits every kind of setting. In towns, plan access to the garden; in villages, tell us about lanes and ground.
Reading: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as All Nations Christian Centre, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Coley Primary School, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Evenings in Reading stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. The main factors are:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The venue or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or RG6 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for you?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That is why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Payment terms and cancellation policy
- What crockery is supplied
- The full menu and the sides
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- A step-free route to wheel the equipment in
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
RG6 questions
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.
Do you travel across Wokingham?
We cover Wokingham and the rest of London and the South East. Send us the address for a quote.
Is our garden big enough?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you cook it or do we?
Both are available: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Catering is the most popular choice.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
