Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What else we do in Egham
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
FAQs for Egham
Can you cater after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Egham close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
