Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Send us the date, the address or SO51 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Sherfield English
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Sherfield English?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
