How our wedding hog roast works in Denvilles
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and weddings in a marquee, with spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling.
In Denvilles, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Denvilles questions
We’re gathering after a service at St Thomas à Becket Church: 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’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Denvilles?
Denvilles has its own station: Warblington station.
What comes with the hog roast?
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 the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.

What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- The date and time of year
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and time of the event
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Fill in our quote form.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Golden-hour photos in Denvilles at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
