Wedding hog roast in Ley Hill, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater evening receptions and rustic barn receptions, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Ley Hill 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. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Common questions in Ley Hill
We are gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Ley Hill?
The closest is Chalfont & Latimer station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Where the roaster can go in Ley Hill
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Planning for dietary needs

- Give final numbers in good time
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
