Wedding hog roast in Crockham Heath, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. We serve spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads, and we’re often booked for home weddings and rustic barn receptions.
Rural weddings around Crockham Heath have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Questions from Crockham Heath

Is Crockham Heath close to London?
About 56 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Why choose a hog roast in Crockham Heath?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why Crockham Heath hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A way in for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Crockham Heath are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
