Wedding hog roast for Beacon's Bottom

How our wedding hog roast works in Beacon's Bottom

Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and post-wedding gatherings.

Rural weddings around Beacon's Bottom have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish

Stuffing and apple sauce

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing typically contains gluten.

Spit-roast lamb

Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

How it works

A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Golden-hour photos in Beacon's Bottom at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
  3. We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
  4. We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
  5. Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London.

Which station is closest to Beacon's Bottom?

Can you roast in the rain?

Can you cater for vegetarians?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

Do venues allow outside hog roasts?

It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.

  • A route to wheel equipment to the spot
  • Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
  • Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
