Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
How we price a hog roast for your party
The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A photo of the cooking area

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

About the food

Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Compton questions
Do you come out to small places like Compton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary and St Nicholas?
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. Send us the address.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you bring a gazebo?
The roaster has its own cover; plan shelter for guests in bad weather.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
