The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Golden-hour photos in Amersham at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive

- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

FAQs for Amersham
What’s the nearest station to Amersham?
Amersham has its own station: Amersham station.
We are gathering after a service at St. Michael and All Angels: can you cater?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There is no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The date and time of year
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
