Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Lower Brailes questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St George: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Lower Brailes too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater in Lower Brailes?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: use our quote form.
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
