How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Caldecote, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Why choose a hog roast in Caldecote?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. 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, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
Take a look at our pricing or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
Caldecote questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Caldecote too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Do you cover Caldecote?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Caldecote and the rest of Milton Keynes included. Send us the address for a quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
