How our wedding hog roast works in Crofton
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include home weddings and weddings in a marquee, serving halloumi skewers, salads and new potatoes.
In Crofton, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll work through it together. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

FAQs for Crofton
What if our house in Crofton has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.
Could you cook in Jubilee Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Crofton, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
