A hog roast near Maidenhead
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In December, daylight in Maidenhead ends around 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your crew

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Access agreed with locations
- A covered eating area
- A level area at base
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Maidenhead: your questions answered
Is Maidenhead close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Braywick Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you have documents for locations?
Every production is different.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your crew will want somewhere dry to eat.
