About our wedding hog roast in Gawcott
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for the day after the wedding and late-night wedding food.
A wedding in a small place like Gawcott frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

- The date and time of the event
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Gawcott, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Gawcott questions
How far is Gawcott from London?
About 51 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Holy Trinity: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
