Wedding hog roast near Holme Green
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. We’re often asked to cater the day after the wedding and small, informal weddings, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Holme Green, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- An itemised quote
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.

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 agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Holme Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Questions from Holme Green
Is Holme Green close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Is Holme Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What affects the price in Holme Green
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and time of the event
