Hog roast hire in Wraysbury
How our hog roast hire works in Wraysbury
We provide a fully catered hog roast: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Popular choices include new potatoes, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for garden parties and barbecues and wakes.
There may be a hall or playing field near Wraysbury if the garden is small; any can work, with the owner’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

FAQs for Wraysbury
Could you cook in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Where does the hog roast go?
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 check it with you before booking.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
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.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
A hog roast or other catering?
Catered or DIY? Catering means we do everything; DIY hire means you roast and carve yourself. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Because the roast takes hours, daylight is worth planning: around Wraysbury, 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.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
