About our wedding hog roast in Dunk's Green
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts with sides and weddings in a family garden, with halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Dunk's Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Questions from Dunk's Green
Do you come out to small places like Dunk's Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Dunk's Green from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
