Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Three Mile Cross
Could you cook in Pearman's Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Which station is closest to Three Mile Cross?
Reading Green Park station, about 2 miles north-west of the centre.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. At a December wedding in Three Mile Cross, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
