Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Menu choices and extras
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give final numbers in good time
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Sparsholt questions
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Rood: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding in Sparsholt. Winter weddings in Sparsholt are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- 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.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
