Wedding hog roast in Guston
How our wedding hog roast works in Guston
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We are frequently asked to cater rustic barn receptions and small, informal weddings, serving spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Rural weddings around Guston have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Questions from Guston
How far is Guston from London?
Roughly 66 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you roast near the sea around Guston?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Who books wedding hog roast in Guston?
No kitchen is needed at the venue, which suits marquees, barns and gardens.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Typical bookings include:
- Weddings in a marquee
- Garden weddings at home

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
