Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Cooksbridge
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Cooksbridge too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, sunset in Cooksbridge is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
