A hog roast near Fulmer
Wedding hog roast near Fulmer
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and late-night wedding food, we can cook carved roast pork, new potatoes and salads.
Rural weddings around Fulmer have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls

Questions from Fulmer
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Fulmer?
The closest is Gerrards Cross station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Do you cover Fulmer?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.

Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.

How it works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At midsummer, sunset in Fulmer is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
