The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Wedding hog roast in Birch Hill, carved to order
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. We serve spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for marquee receptions and post-wedding gatherings.
In Birch Hill, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Birch Hill
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book our hog roast in Birch Hill
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Birch Hill questions
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Birch Hill close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
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, which is built into the price.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The date and when you’d like to eat
