Wedding hog roast in Linkhill, carved to order
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Linkhill: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. Whether it is weddings in a family garden and blessings and renewals, we can cook spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling and more.
Rural weddings around Linkhill 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. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Linkhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Linkhill
We are gathering after a service at Mission Church: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Linkhill close to London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
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.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
