Hog roast hire for your event in Cheapside
Hog roast hire takes the cooking off your hands. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, ready to carve when you are. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and salads, and typical bookings are for sports clubs and societies and christmas fairs.
Somewhere as small as Cheapside, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and level, firm ground is the key. The hog is roasted on site at your event, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

FAQs for Cheapside
Do you come out to small places like Cheapside?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Catering is the most popular choice.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you travel across Windsor and Maidenhead?

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Cheapside, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which frequently makes it better value. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book our hog roast in Cheapside

- All the equipment comes with us

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
