We’re frequently asked to cater home weddings and wedding breakfasts, with carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and crackling.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give final numbers in good time
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Furzedown
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Furzedown?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Figge's Marsh?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
