What else we do in Cippenham
The process
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Cippenham is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- You get a check on access and a quote.
- We agree where we set up and when we arrive.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day

Common questions in Cippenham
Can you do a hog roast in Haymill Valley?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Cippenham?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you have alternatives?
Chicken, lamb, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. Halal isn’t available.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Where do you set up on a shoot?
A level outdoor spot clear of trucks and kit.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
For event organisers in Cippenham
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
