A hog roast compared with other options
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Planned to your running order

Somewhere as small as Hitchambury, a field, yard or garden is often the spot. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm, level ground matters most. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Your questions about a hog roast in Hitchambury
Which station is closest to Hitchambury?
Taplow station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What is hog roast hire?
We roast on site, carve to order and serve, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Perfect for your event in Hitchambury
Rolls are easy to eat standing up, so it suits informal events, while plates and sides suit a sit-down meal.

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Light matters for a long roast: around Hitchambury, it stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm, so winter bookings need lighting from mid-afternoon.
