Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a full location caterer, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Egham Hythe hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Egham Hythe is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
