Englefield Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Windsor Great Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Egham station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can families and staff join in?
Many homes make it a family day; just tell us total numbers.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer hog roast day in Englefield Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- A date and rough headcount from the home gets things started.
- We look at photos of the garden or car park and suggest a cooking spot.
- Your kitchen team tells us about diets and textures.
- On the day the hog roasts outside while residents watch from the lounge or garden.
- After serving, we clear away without disturbing the home.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
