About our hog roast hire in Slough
With hog roast hire, the cooking happens at your event, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp when it is served. Add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options if you like. Popular choices include coleslaw, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater milestone birthdays and parties at home.
Busy roads and town-centre parking are the main things to plan for a hog roast in central Slough; once set up, the roast looks after itself for hours. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
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.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
How we price a hog roast
The biggest factors are:
- Which meats and sides you choose

- Crockery choices
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The address or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, instead of food coming off the grill in batches. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue.
