Planning a hog roast day in Holloway
Holloway is about 2 miles west of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead. We take a hog roast day to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Holloway. We cover 57 places in Windsor and Maidenhead, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Holloway to Reading (about 10 miles away).
Families coming by rail can use the station: Furze Platt station is about 2.7 miles away. Volunteers from churches such as Saint John the Evangelist sometimes help at care home events, and a hog roast day can bring everyone together.
For care home events in SL6, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many residents. Your care home event could be at a house on Burchetts Green Lane and Bath Road or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. For care home events just outside Holloway, we cover Littlewick Green (1 mile south-west), Burchett's Green (1 mile north-west), Woolley Green (1 mile south-east), Stubbings (1 mile north-east) and Pinkneys Green (1 mile north-east).

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Holloway, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so a lunchtime serving suits winter.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- The chef carves and our staff serve residents.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your residents
