Questions from Padworth
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Padworth?
Aldermaston station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Travel to Padworth
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Evening food at a Padworth wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
