Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Hoppers Corner: your questions answered
How far is Hoppers Corner from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Hoppers Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Hoppers Corner, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
