Hog roast hire in Eton Wick
Perfect for your event in Eton Wick
People remember a hog roast. The smell, the carving and the crackling make it more than just food.
People around Eton Wick book us for small gatherings and big outdoor days alike. For example:
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
- Christmas fairs
- Weddings and receptions
- Clubhouse events
A green space like Sutherland Grange is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, typically the council’s.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: in Eton Wick, 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.

Eton Wick: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of Saint John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Eton Wick?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you cook it or do we?
Either: we can cater fully or hire out the machine. Most people choose catering.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Will people get crackling?
Yes, the crackling is shared out as we carve.
Do you travel across Windsor and Maidenhead?
We cover Windsor and Maidenhead and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
