Hog roast hire in Eton, carved to order
Slow-roasted pork carved to order: that’s hog roast hire in Eton. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, and you can add sides and other meats. For milestone birthdays and christmas parties, we can cook new potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a rural place like Eton, roast pork in a field is hard to beat. Let us know about access and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your event, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

How we price a hog roast
Your quote depends on:
- Travel to Eton
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Why choose a hog roast in Eton?
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evenings in Eton stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Why choose hog roast hire in Eton?
A roll needs no knife and fork, so it suits informal events, and plates turn it into a proper meal.
Whatever the occasion in Eton, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Staff days and open days
- Big birthdays and anniversaries
- Christmas fairs
- Wakes and memorial gatherings
Churches such as Church of Saint John the Evangelist rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by normally does.

FAQs for Eton
What’s the nearest station to Eton?
Windsor & Eton Riverside station, about 0.5 miles south of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Saint John the Evangelist: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we have lamb or chicken?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of Windsor and Maidenhead?
We cover Windsor and Maidenhead and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We will agree a contact for the day, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
