What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Common questions in Colnbrook
Could you cook in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How far is Colnbrook from London?
About 19 miles from central London.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: in Colnbrook, sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
