Wedding hog roast for Forty Green
How our wedding hog roast works in Forty Green
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are frequently asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and evening food after the first dance, with rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and crackling.
Near Forty Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Questions from Forty Green
How far is Forty Green from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Forty Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What the cooking area needs
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Light near the carving station after dark

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
