We are often asked to cater marquee receptions and anniversary vow renewals, serving carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Chapel Row often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.
What affects the price in Chapel Row
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Chapel Row, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
