How our wedding hog roast works in Latimer
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Typical bookings include post-wedding gatherings and marquee weddings, serving salads, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
There is something special about a country wedding near Latimer, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Planning a wedding hog roast in Latimer
Latimer is about 2 miles east of Amersham, in Buckinghamshire. Wherever your wedding is in Latimer, we can bring the roaster, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Latimer is one of 263 towns and villages in Buckinghamshire we cover. Our nearest city page is London, about 23 miles away.
It is worth telling train travellers that the nearest station is Chalfont & Latimer station, about 1 mile south. After a ceremony at a church like Church of St Mary Magdalene, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting.

How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding in Latimer. In Latimer, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
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.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Your menu choices
- The date and time of the event

For event organisers in Latimer
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Power for lights in the evening
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier

FAQs for Latimer
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed

On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
