For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
Read our prices page or what a hog roast costs.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Hanover, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Hanover
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Annunciation: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
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.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Crackling
- Spit-roast lamb
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
Prices and what affects them
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Numbers
- Travel to Hanover
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Here’s what we will ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Roughly how many people
