Wedding hog roast for Hatchford
Wedding hog roast in Hatchford, carved to order
For a relaxed wedding in Hatchford, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. For vow renewals and blessings and intimate weddings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and carved roast pork and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Hatchford, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Hatchford questions
Can you do a hog roast in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Hatchford close to London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you come to Hatchford?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Hatchford is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
