Common questions in Collier Row
We are gathering after a service at The Good Shepherd: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast in Raphael Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you come to Collier Row?
Yes, Collier Row is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Wedding hog roast near Collier Row
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Whether it is weddings in a marquee and small, informal weddings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling and more.
For a wedding in Collier Row, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

At midsummer, sunset in Collier Row is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

- 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
