Fifield: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Fifield?
Maidenhead station, about 2.8 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Fifield from London?
About 26 miles from central London.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Do you have alternatives?
There are chicken, lamb, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal isn’t available.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
When lunch is called, we carve fast.
Lamb or chicken gives the crew a choice.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Flat ground at the unit base
- Shelter for crew
- Away from vehicles and equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
