Wedding hog roast near Cufaude

Near Cufaude, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Cufaude, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Questions from Cufaude
We’re gathering after a service at The Vyne Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Cufaude from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
