Wedding hog roast in Dean Court
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Dean Court
Can you cater after a service at St Andrew's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Dean Court from London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels special. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- An itemised quote
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
