Wedding hog roast in Hedgerley
How our wedding hog roast works in Hedgerley
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We serve spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and the day after the wedding.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Hedgerley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Step by step
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Golden-hour photos in Hedgerley at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Tell us your date, venue and 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.
How to prepare
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Hedgerley: your questions answered
Could you cook in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
How far is Hedgerley from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
