Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge 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, and the quote reflects that.

Long Crendon questions
How far is Long Crendon from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Long Crendon?
The closest is Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

- Halloumi skewers (V)

Prices and what affects them
There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
