Areas we cover
Hog roast hire across SL6
Our hog roast hire is fully catered: we roast, our chef carves and our staff serve. For confident cooks, the machine can be hired on its own. Typical bookings include community events and staff days and open days, with new potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat.
- You tell us the date, the address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
What you’ll pay
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us

Hog roast catering in SL6: local guide
There are 3 towns and 24 villages and hamlets in SL6, so the setting can be anything from Maidenhead, Boyn Hill and Cookham to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Maidenhead: Coming by train? The nearest station is Maidenhead station, about 0.5 miles south-east. Historic houses near Maidenhead include Dorney Court (3 miles south-east) and Cliveden (3.2 miles north-east). If your event is at a historic house or estate, check its rules on outside caterers and gas cooking early. By late September, sunset in Maidenhead is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. After dark, a lit path to the food makes a difference.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Permission from the venue or landowner
- Somewhere nearby to park our vehicle
- A level patch of lawn, patio or hardstanding
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
The roaster needs looking after for hours, and that’s what we are there for. You can get on with your event.
China crockery is available on request, at an extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
