How hog roast hire works in SL1
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. Then our chef carves it and the team serves it in rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. We serve salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for clubhouse events and staff days and open days.
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve.
- We pack away and leave you to it.

The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Planning a hog roast in SL1
Across SL1, we cover 3 towns and 3 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Cippenham, Chalvey and Britwell to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Slough: For a fundraiser at a school like Herschel Grammar School, the roaster can cook on a pitch agreed with the school. A green space like Herschel Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s. Late September evenings in Slough lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Roughly how many people
- Which meats and sides you’d like
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the event is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for you?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast does not need a kitchen, which often makes it better value.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
Name someone to meet us, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
