Questions from Penny Pot
Is Penny Pot too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Penny Pot from London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Wedding hog roast in Penny Pot, carved to order
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We serve salads, new potatoes and carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Penny Pot often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Our staff serve and clear
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- An itemised quote

The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
For event organisers in Penny Pot
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What else we do in Penny Pot
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At a December wedding in Penny Pot, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Ask for a quote
