Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Radfield at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Radfield questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Lawrence?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Radfield close to London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
