Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Hitchambury
Is Hitchambury close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you cover Hitchambury?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hitchambury and the rest of Slough included. Send us the address for a quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
Every party is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your party: send us your details through our quote form.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, it is light in Hitchambury until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- It starts with the date, the address and a rough guest list.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and pack away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
