How our wedding hog roast works in Fortis Green
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include intimate weddings and anniversary vow renewals, with spit-roast lamb, crackling and carved roast pork.
Couples in Fortis Green often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, so check with the venue early. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Fortis Green
Could you cook in Cherry Tree Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Fortis Green has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you cover Fortis Green?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Fortis Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
