Wedding hog roast near Bledlow Ridge
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include intimate weddings and wedding breakfasts, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Rural weddings around Bledlow Ridge have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Bledlow Ridge is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Send final numbers in good time

Bledlow Ridge questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Bledlow Ridge?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the roaster
- Salads
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
