In a rural place like Egham Wick, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Around midsummer it stays light in Egham Wick until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We’ll agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
