Working with your venue

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Prices and what affects them

We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:

  • Site access
  • Whether you want china
  • The serving time and how long we are on site
  • The date and time of year

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

What to tell us

These are the details we need:

  • An estimate of numbers
  • Rules from the venue or landowner
  • What the outdoor space is like
  • Where the event is

For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RG9 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

Should I cook it myself?

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

The process

Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Golden-hour photos in Highmoor at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

  1. Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
  5. We carve and serve, then clear away.

Before we arrive

  • Think about shelter for your guests
  • Send final numbers in good time
  • Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

The menu, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken

Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.

Questions from Highmoor

Is Highmoor close to London?

Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you cater after a service at Church of St Paul?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

Can we just hire the roaster?

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

How much room do you need?

A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.

How big a hog will we need?

The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.

What about guests who don’t eat pork?

We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.

Is mains power needed?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

Can we offer lamb too?

Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.

What the cooking area needs

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:

  • A way in for the roaster
  • A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
  • Power for lights in the evening

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
