Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Akeley questions
Do you come out to small places like Akeley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary)?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you cater in Akeley?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Akeley and the rest of Buckinghamshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Akeley, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
