After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and small, informal weddings, with rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads.
Rural weddings around Bradley have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

What affects the price in Bradley
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Bradley
How far is Bradley from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Bradley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Bradley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Bradley and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Marrying at Church of All Saints? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.

What else we do in Bradley
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Bradley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
