Wedding hog roast for Great Hampden

After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We’re often asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and blessings and renewals, with salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
Why us?
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- An itemised quote
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
Take a look at our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Golden-hour photos in Great Hampden at midsummer come around 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.

Great Hampden: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Great Hampden?
The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
About the food
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
