Slow-roasted pork in Busbridge
How our wedding hog roast works in Busbridge
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and evening receptions, with rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Busbridge, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

The process
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At midsummer, sunset in Busbridge is about 9:20pm, 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’s 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.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Let us know about tight access

What else we do in Busbridge
Busbridge: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Busbridge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Busbridge from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
