Hyde End questions
Is Hyde End too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Hyde End?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Where on site can you cook?
A car park, yard or grounds generally works, if there is a level spot away from buildings and vehicles.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can it be more formal?
It can be as relaxed or polished as you like, with plates or china.

For planners, venues and organisers

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What affects the price in Hyde End
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The journey to the venue
- How long the roast and service take
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or RG7 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.
