Slow-roasted pork in Copse Hill
Wedding hog roast near Copse Hill
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts and late-night wedding food, with halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and crackling.
In Copse Hill, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Questions from Copse Hill
Can you do a hog roast in Cottenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Copse Hill has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
What comes with the hog roast?

Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Copse Hill are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
