What affects the price in Ramsden
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- The number of people
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
It is easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

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.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Common questions in Ramsden
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Ramsden from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Why choose a hog roast in Ramsden?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

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 is ready when you want to eat. In Ramsden, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
