A hog roast near East Hanney
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in East Hanney, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.

FAQs for East Hanney
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is East Hanney close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
