The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Poffley End
Do you come out to small places like Poffley End?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Poffley End?
The closest is Finstock station, roughly 3 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The journey to the venue
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Dietary requirements
- Any venue rules
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Fill in our quote form.

We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Golden-hour photos in Poffley End at midsummer come around 9:30pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
