What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A serving area close to where guests eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
See how we price or what a hog roast costs.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

The closest is Kintbury station, roughly 2 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Laurence?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
