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.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.

- The venue or postcode
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
We set up quietly and start the roast early, well away from the entrance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
FAQs for Rew Street
Can you cater after a service at All Saints' Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Rew Street?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wake for a quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you serve on plates?
Plates come as standard, and china is available on request.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
