Questions from Forest Hill
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Forest Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Do you come to Forest Hill?
Yes, Forest Hill is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.

What else we do in Forest Hill
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- The number of people
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Travel to Forest Hill
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or OX33 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
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.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

- Planned to your running order
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

- Confirm final numbers a week or so before

- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening food at a Forest Hill wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Getting a price

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
