FAQs for Egypt
Is Egypt too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Egypt close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cover the whole of Slough?
Slough is part of our area. Ask for a quote.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
It’s built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
Hog roast hire in Egypt, slow-roasted on site
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We get there early, put up the cover and roast for hours, then carve and serve at the time you choose. On the menu are salads, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for wedding breakfasts and evening food and festive gatherings.
In a rural place like Egypt, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Put the menu on the invitation
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
We will be with you for a good part of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Egypt stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
