Wedding hog roast in Horns Green, carved to order
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken, and we are regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and marquee receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Horns Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Horns Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Horns Green?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Horns Green close to London?
About 15 miles from central London.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can you cater in Horns Green?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Working with your venue
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Winter weddings in Horns Green are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
