Party hog roast in Colnbrook, carved to order
After a christening near Colnbrook, a hog roast at home means everyone eats together, without anyone stuck cooking. For retirement parties and milestone birthdays, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
Country parties near Colnbrook suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Plan shelter in case it rains. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How we price a hog roast for your party
We do not use a fixed price list, because every party is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- An estimate of numbers
- Allergies we should know about
- A picture of the cooking area
When you are weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Common questions in Colnbrook
Can you do a hog roast in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Thomas: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come to Colnbrook?
Yes, Colnbrook is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do children like hog roasts?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we hire the hog roast machine for our party?
You can hire the machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works.
Why choose a hog roast in Colnbrook?
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and the food is ready for everyone at once. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
What happens on the day
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. Evening parties in Colnbrook need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
