What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
- Served at the time you choose
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Questions from Letcombe Bassett
How far is Letcombe Bassett from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Michael: 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.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater in Letcombe Bassett?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Letcombe Bassett and Oxfordshire. Send us the address for a quote.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Letcombe Bassett, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
