Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Minster questions
Is Minster close to London?
About 39 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Barton's Point Coastal Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The address or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
