How our wedding hog roast works in Gerrards Cross
For a relaxed wedding in Gerrards Cross, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. For small, informal weddings and wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Weddings in a place like Gerrards Cross frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

For event organisers in Gerrards Cross
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.

Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Gerrards Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
