Slow-roasted pork in Water Oakley
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Hog roast hire for your event in Water Oakley
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, over several hours, outdoors under cover. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and a piece of crackling. We serve crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings and receptions and clubhouse events.
In a small place like Water Oakley, a hog roast frequently goes in a field, a farmyard or a big garden. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Slow roasting needs attention, which is our job, not yours. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Common questions in Water Oakley
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Water Oakley?
Taplow station, about 2.3 miles north of the centre.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can we choose catered or DIY?
Either: fully catered, where we roast, carve and serve, or DIY machine hire. Most people choose catering.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
