Englefield Green: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of Our Lady of the Assumption: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Where can you serve a wake?
Homes, halls, clubs and venues, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
For event organisers in Englefield Green
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Is a hog roast right for your wake?
Compared with a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Sides to make it a full meal

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Autumn and winter afternoons in Englefield Green get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- Share the date, place and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
