Questions from Little Hoddington
Is Little Hoddington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Little Hoddington?
The closest is Hook station, roughly 3.7 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
About our wedding hog roast in Little Hoddington
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it’s farm weddings and vow renewals and blessings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Little Hoddington often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
