A hog roast near Flexford
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Flexford, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Questions from Flexford
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Bartholomew?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Flexford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you cover Flexford?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Flexford and Surrey. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we will ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Rough numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
