About our wedding hog roast in Knotty Green

Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for rustic barn receptions and home weddings.

A wedding in a small place like Knotty Green frequently 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 before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
  • Put a dietary question on the invitation
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Give final numbers in good time

We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.

Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Should I cook it myself?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Organising for someone else?

For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

How the day works

Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Knotty Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

  1. Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
  2. We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
  3. We fit timings around your running order.
  4. The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.

Getting ready for the day

  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Knotty Green: your questions answered

Which station is closest to Knotty Green?

Beaconsfield station, about 0.9 miles south-east of the centre.

Do you cater at venues 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.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

What happens after service?

We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.

Who serves?

You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Do you come to Knotty Green?

Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Knotty Green and Buckinghamshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

When do you start roasting?

Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Is mains power needed?

Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.

What we serve, dish by dish

Spit-roast lamb

Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.

Why us?

  • Crackling for everyone who wants it
  • No surprises: everything in writing
  • Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
  • Our staff serve and clear
