Our hog roast service in Wokingham
Wokingham's centre still feels like an old market town, with its triangular Market Place, the town hall and streets of older brick and timber buildings. Around that core, though, the borough has grown a great deal, with new neighbourhoods and whole villages built on former farmland and the old army land at Arborfield. It sits between Reading and Bracknell, with the railway and quick routes to the M4 and M3.
A growing population of families means a steady flow of birthdays, christenings and garden parties, alongside fetes, club days and country weddings in the villages. We roast and carve on site and bring salads, breads, stuffing and sauces, with staff to serve and clear up.
We cater across Wokingham as part of our hog roast catering in Berkshire. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering service page.
Where we cater in Wokingham
Most of our Wokingham events are private and family-sized: parties on the newer estates at Arborfield Green, Shinfield and around the edges of town, and larger gardens in the older villages. Barkham, Finchampstead, Hurst and Winnersh have halls, greens and cricket grounds, and the country parks at Dinton Pastures and California host community fun days. North towards Twyford and Wargrave, the landscape opens towards the Thames and larger private properties.
Newer housing tends to mean smaller back gardens with side gates, so we'll ask about widths and whether a machine can go on the drive. Village and farm venues further out are more spacious but may have soft ground after rain.

Events we cater in Wokingham
Wedding hog roasts
Wokingham weddings tend to head for the villages — a marquee on a family field near Barkham, or a garden reception towards Wargrave and the river. A hog roast keeps things relaxed and generous, and with a lamb as a second main there's real choice at the table.
Hog roast wedding cateringCorporate events
Wokingham sits between two big business centres, so many of our work events here come from local firms, schools and organisations rather than large campuses: team summer parties, volunteer thank-you lunches and end-of-year staff dos. We keep the planning light for whoever's organising.
Catering for company eventsBirthday & private parties
Christenings, first birthdays, 40ths and street-style summer parties on the newer estates are regular bookings. For a hog roast Wokingham garden party with plenty of children, adding a BBQ with burgers and sausages is a popular move.

Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
Spit-roasted whole lamb, seasoned with garlic and rosemary and carved to order. It's served with mint sauce, warm flatbreads and fresh salads — ideal when some guests don't eat pork.
Lamb roast cateringBBQ options
Grill favourites cooked to order: burgers, sausages, chicken thighs, halloumi skewers and vegan sausages, all served with rolls and a full sauce line-up.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
The sides make the meal. Choose from homemade coleslaw, mixed leaf salad, tomato and red onion salad, potato salad and pasta salad, plus fries, sweet potato fries or buttered new potatoes cooked on site. Fresh rolls, breads and a proper sauce table come as standard.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Dietary needs are planned in from the start, not added at the end. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are cooked on separate equipment on request and clearly labelled, and allergen information is available for everything we serve. For guests with severe allergies, please talk to us before the event.

Hog roast FAQs for Wokingham
Our new-build garden in Wokingham is quite small. Will a hog roast fit?
Often it will, with the machine on the drive or patio and the serving counter by the back door. If space is really tight, a BBQ set-up is more compact. Measurements or photos of the side gate help us plan.
Can you cater a community fun day or fete near Wokingham?
Yes. Both hog roast and BBQ suit fetes and fun days, and we can serve per portion for fundraising. Let us know expected numbers and serving times, and any rules from the park or landowner.
How much does a hog roast in Wokingham cost?
It depends on guest numbers, the menu, staffing, the service style and the venue. We don't publish fixed prices because events vary so much — our hog roast cost guide explains the factors, and a quote is free.
