Wedding hog roast in Lambs Green, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include evening receptions and farm weddings, serving crackling, salads and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Lambs Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lambs Green
We are gathering after a service at St Mary Magdalene church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Lambs Green?
Faygate station, about 1.4 miles south of the centre.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In Lambs Green, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Lambs Green hosts choose us

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Crockery choices

- Distance from us
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
