About our wedding hog roast in Dormers Wells
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and marquee weddings, serving spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In Dormers Wells, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

The biggest factors are:

Dormers Wells questions
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Dormers Wells?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
We’re gathering after a service at Emmanuel Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
As a London location, Dormers Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At a December wedding in Dormers Wells, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
