About our wedding hog roast in Dogmersfield
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for relaxed, low-key weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
A wedding in a small place like Dogmersfield frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Dogmersfield
Do you come out to small places like Dogmersfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Dogmersfield close to London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
