For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Langley Common: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Langley Common?
The closest is Wokingham station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Is Langley Common close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast, as long as guests have shelter.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Travel to Langley Common
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.

- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is often better value. 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.
Why us?
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
