Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- How many people are eating
- Distance from us
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
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.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
FAQs for Bradwell Abbey
Do you come out to small places like Bradwell Abbey?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, sunset in Bradwell Abbey is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
