Wedding hog roast in Chalfont St Peter, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, salads and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for post-wedding gatherings and the main wedding meal.
In Chalfont St Peter, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Chalfont St Peter questions
What’s the nearest station to Chalfont St Peter?
The closest is Gerrards Cross station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
Is Chalfont St Peter close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can we offer lamb too?

How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Permission for outside catering
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Space well clear of tents and trees
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
