Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will agree a contact for the day, ideally not the host, so you can enjoy yourself.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast, priced in the quote.

How we price a hog roast
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and time of the event

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A marquee, hall or barn as a wet-weather plan
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
On the menu in Langley

FAQs for Langley
We are gathering after a service at St Mary the Virgin Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Langley?
The closest is Langley station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is it just pork?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Why choose a hog roast in Langley?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book our hog roast in Langley
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
