Wedding hog roast in West Tisted
Where the roaster can go in West Tisted
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

FAQs for West Tisted
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene: 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. Send us the address.

About 52 miles from central London.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Anything the venue has asked for
To get a quote, just send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, sunset in West Tisted is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
