Wedding hog roast in Little Ickford, carved to order

Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re frequently asked to cater small, informal weddings and home weddings, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.

A wedding in a small place like Little Ickford often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?

Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Why book our hog roast in Little Ickford

  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Choices for people who don’t eat pork
  • All the equipment comes with us
  • No surprises: everything in writing

Read our prices page or our hog roast cost guide.

Allergies and dietary needs

Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

  • Give your coordinator the final menu
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
  • If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
  • Give final numbers in good time

We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.

Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

Prices and what affects them

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • The number of people
  • Menu choices and extras
  • Whether you want china
  • The date and time of year

Travel matters for the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

What to tell us

When you get in touch, it helps to include:

  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • Your date and serving time
  • Dietary requirements
  • A photo of the cooking area

Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.

About the food

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.

How it works

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At a December wedding in Little Ickford, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

  1. Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
  2. We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We set up and roast for hours.
  5. Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.

Before we arrive

  • Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
