Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Common questions in Taplow
Is Taplow too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Braywick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
