Common questions in Worting
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Thomas A Becket?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Worting close to London?
About 48 miles from central London.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
