Wedding hog roast in Kingwood Common, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include marquee receptions and barn and farm weddings, with spit-roast lamb, salads and halloumi skewers.
Near Kingwood Common, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Kingwood Common: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at The Church of Christ the King: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you cover Kingwood Common?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
