Wedding hog roast for Lindford
Wedding hog roast in Lindford, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. We are frequently asked to cater rustic barn receptions and the day after the wedding, serving new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
For a smaller place like Lindford, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast in Lindford
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lindford
Is Lindford close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
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.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Evening food at a Lindford wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
