Wedding hog roast in Headley
Common questions in Headley
Could you cook in New Greenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In Headley, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest 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.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
