Wedding hog roast in Green Cross, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. We are often asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and vow renewals and blessings, with crackling, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Green Cross often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Green Cross questions
Can you cater after a service at St John the Evangelist?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Green Cross close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

What happens on the day
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Green Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
