Wedding hog roast for Blindley Heath
How our wedding hog roast works in Blindley Heath
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. We serve spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and intimate weddings.
Rural weddings around Blindley Heath 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. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Questions from Blindley Heath
Can you do a hog roast in Lingfield Wildlife Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evanglist: can you cater?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Winter weddings in Blindley Heath are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Step-free access for our equipment
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?

Should I cook it myself?

Prices and what affects them
We work out each quote from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
