What else we do in Temple
Events we cater in Temple
Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options mean every guest is looked after.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Typical bookings include:
- Relaxed, low-key weddings
- Weddings in a marquee
- The day after the wedding
- Evening receptions
Marrying at Church of All Saints? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in Temple, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
- Think about shelter for your guests

Temple questions
How far is Temple from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- Travel to Temple
- How many people are eating
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Dietary requirements
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A way in for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Vegan option (Ve)
- New potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Spit-roast lamb

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Temple hosts choose us
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Carved to order by a chef

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
