Wedding hog roast in Chute Forest, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee and vow renewals and blessings.
Near Chute Forest, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Where the roaster can go in Chute Forest
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

Questions from Chute Forest
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Chute Forest close to London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
Do you cover Chute Forest?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Chute Forest and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Chute Forest, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- The address or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
