Book a hog roast in Colnbrook
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Wedding hog roast near Colnbrook
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it’s intimate weddings and late-night wedding food, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb and more.
Near Colnbrook, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Questions from Colnbrook
Is Colnbrook too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Arthur Jacob Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
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 a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How soon do you get booked up?

- Give final numbers in good time
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
