About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.

How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding.

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Common questions in Monk's Gate
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Good Shepherd: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
Is Monk's Gate close to London?
About 33 miles from central London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Lighting for evening service
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
