Questions from Upper Froyle
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary of the Assumption: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Upper Froyle?
The closest is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Wedding hog roast in Upper Froyle, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For evening receptions and home weddings, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
There is something special about a country wedding near Upper Froyle, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle.

What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Golden-hour photos in Upper Froyle at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

What affects the price in Upper Froyle
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Allergies we should know about
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU34 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
