How our hog roast hire works in Old Windsor
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, which means it is carved hot, with crisp crackling. Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options can go alongside. For wakes and christmas fairs, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and salads and more.
A place like Old Windsor often has a village hall, a recreation ground or a pub garden nearby; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Old Windsor until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

- A picture of the cooking area
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.

Questions from Old Windsor
Can you cater after a service at St Luke?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Windsor Great Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Do we need a big space?
It depends on the space and access more than size. Tell us about the garden and we will advise.
Is it just pork?
The hog is the centrepiece, with lamb and chicken as extras.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
