A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Hampton Poyle
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, 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.

About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Hampton Poyle, midsummer sunset is about 9:30pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
