For a wedding in Duckett's Green, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll work through it together. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At a December wedding in Duckett's Green, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

FAQs for Duckett's Green
Could you cook in Ducketts Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Duckett's Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
