Wedding hog roast for California
Wedding hog roast in California, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork, and we are often booked for garden weddings at home and wedding breakfasts.
For a smaller place like California, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.

Planning a wedding hog roast in California
California is about 1 mile south of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. We bring a hog roast for your wedding to weddings anywhere in California, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. We cover all 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire. We cater events right across the region, from California to Milton Keynes (about 16 miles away).
If you are marrying at a church near California, such as Church of St Mary, and holding the reception nearby, the hog roast can be cooking while you say your vows. Put the station on your invitation: there’s a station right in California: Aylesbury station. With the Chilterns National Landscape within about 5 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check the cooking spot with the venue.
Weddings anywhere in HP21, HP20 and HP19 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Your wedding could be at a house on Lee Road, Penn Road and Eaton Road, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. California is on the A41 and A418, which makes the journey straightforward.

Questions from California
How far is California from London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

What affects the price in California
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every wedding is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, sunset in California is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.

- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
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.
