We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.

Common questions in Coscote
Is Coscote 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.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding in Coscote. In Coscote, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Plates or china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Your date and serving time
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
