Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Colwood, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm 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.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Colwood
Could you cook in Leonardslee?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Colwood from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
