Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Distance from us
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- The date and when you’d like to eat

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Calbourne
Can you cater after a service at All Saints' Church?
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. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
For somewhere as remote as Calbourne, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

- 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.
