Questions from Whitegrove
Which station is closest to Whitegrove?
The closest is Bracknell station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
