Common questions in Princelett
Do you come out to small places like Princelett?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you cover Princelett?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Where the roaster can go in Princelett
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Princelett is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

For event organisers in Princelett
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Princelett wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
