Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Common questions in Crookham
Do you come out to small places like Crookham?
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 Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cover Crookham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Crookham and West Berkshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Crookham, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
