FAQs for Brown Candover
Is Brown Candover close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Brown Candover?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.

With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
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 liaise with them.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Wedding hog roast in Brown Candover, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Brown Candover suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are new potatoes, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater marquee receptions and evening receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Brown Candover frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
