Planning an event in Rowfant?
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How our wedding hog roast works in Rowfant
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For anniversary vow renewals and the main wedding meal, we will put together a menu of crackling, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Rural weddings around Rowfant have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Questions from Rowfant
Can you cater after a service at All Saints Parish Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Rowfant close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
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.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. In Rowfant, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently 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.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.

For event organisers in Rowfant
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
