Common questions in Buckland
How far is Buckland from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Roman Catholic Church of St George?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.

Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter weddings in Buckland are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:30pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Buckland
- How easy it is to reach the spot
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
