Slow-roasted pork in East Preston
FAQs for East Preston
Is East Preston close to London?
About 50 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you roast near the sea around East Preston?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How our wedding hog roast works in East Preston
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork, and we’re often booked for marquee receptions and blessings and renewals.
In East Preston, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

For event organisers in East Preston
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
