A hog roast or other catering?

Why book with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count crew needing an alternative
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little; just let us know.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.
Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your crew will smell it long before they see it. Summer shoots near Old Windsor have light until about 9:25pm, so a wrap party can run into the evening.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Name a contact for the day

Old Windsor: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Windsor Great Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Old Windsor from London?
About 21 miles from central London.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you cover Old Windsor?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Old Windsor and Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
