Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evenings in Egham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We check the space and quote.
- We get the roaster going hours before you eat.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Questions from Egham
What’s the nearest station to Egham?
Egham has its own station: Egham station.
Is Egham close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
Can you cater in Egham?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Egham and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Why choose a hog roast in Egham?
Next to a formal plated meal, a hog roast doesn’t need a kitchen, which typically keeps the cost down. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

What affects the price in Egham
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
