About our wedding hog roast in Catslip
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Catslip suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For weddings in a marquee and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Catslip frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Catslip: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Catslip from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do you cover Catslip?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Catslip and Oxfordshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a summer wedding in Catslip, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
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.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
