For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Where the roaster can go in Wellow
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Space well clear of tents and trees

Wellow is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.

Questions from Wellow
Can you cater after a service at Wellow Baptist Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you roast near the sea around Wellow?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come to Wellow?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Wellow and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Send us the address for a quote.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
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 will check it with you before booking.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
