About hog roast hire in Windsor and Maidenhead

With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it’s served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Typical bookings include wakes and memorial gatherings and Fêtes, fairs and shows, with coleslaw, halloumi skewers and salads.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

  1. You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
  2. We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
  3. We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
  4. Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
  5. Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

A hog roast across Windsor and Maidenhead: what to know

Windsor and Maidenhead covers everything from Maidenhead, Windsor and Boyn Hill to 42 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.

Maidenhead: For guests coming by train, Maidenhead station, about 0.5 miles south-east, is the nearest station. If you’re organising a summer fair for a school like Claires Court Schools, a hog roast is a crowd-pleaser. Light matters for a long roast: around Maidenhead, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.

Planners, venues and businesses

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.

The menu, dish by dish

Crackling

The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

Catered or do it yourself?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

  • Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
  • Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
  • Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
  • Ask about allergies when you send invitations

You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.

Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Windsor and Maidenhead questions

Do you serve the food?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.

What happens in bad weather?

Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

Is crockery included?

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
