What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Orchard Leigh: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Orchard Leigh?
Berkhamsted station, about 3 miles north of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much room do you need?

Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening food at a Orchard Leigh wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.

- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- What the outdoor space is like
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Where the roaster can go in Orchard Leigh
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
