Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Permission for outside catering

Questions from The Pound
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like The Pound?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.

For event organisers in The Pound
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you choose
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
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.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At a December wedding in The Pound, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages

Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
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. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
