Wedding hog roast for Great Linford
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
How our wedding hog roast works in Great Linford
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Great Linford suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Whether it is vow renewals and blessings and farm weddings, we’ll put together a menu of salads, crackling and carved roast pork for your guests.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. In Great Linford, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually 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.
- 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.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
