Questions from Waterside
Is Waterside close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your event for a quote.
Can you cater in Waterside?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Waterside and Buckinghamshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Hog roast hire in Waterside, slow-roasted on site
In Waterside, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: a single slow roast, carved to order. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and our staff serve and clear. Typical bookings include work summer parties and milestone birthdays, with halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Somewhere as small as Waterside, a field, yard or garden is frequently the spot. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives, and firm, level ground matters most. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Planning an evening hog roast in Waterside? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: send us your details through our quote form.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
A second roast, lamb or chicken, gives people a choice, priced in the quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
