Cookham Dean questions
Which station is closest to Cookham Dean?
The closest is Cookham station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you come to Cookham Dean?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Cookham Dean and Windsor and Maidenhead. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
Take a look at how we price or the cost guide.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
For event organisers in Cookham Dean
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.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
