West Hanney questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is West Hanney too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
What space does the roaster 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.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What we serve, dish by dish

For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Whether you want china
- Travel to West Hanney
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
