Wedding hog roast in Danesfield, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. On the menu are new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and vow renewals and blessings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Danesfield, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Danesfield, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Common questions in Danesfield
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Danesfield from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
