DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Occasions we serve in Ashampstead Green
One booking can cover the wedding breakfast and the evening food, so it is good value.
However big or small the event in Ashampstead Green, a hog roast feeds a crowd well. We are frequently asked to cater:
- Blessings and renewals
- Barn and farm weddings
- Garden weddings at home

After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Clement, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting.
Questions to ask before booking
- Any travel or access charges

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in Ashampstead Green, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
How to prepare
