Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
How our wedding hog roast works in Little London
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Whether it is home weddings and vow renewals and blessings, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling and more.
A wedding in a small place like Little London frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
For event organisers in Little London
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A hog roast or other catering?

FAQs for Little London
Is Little London close to London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. At a December wedding in Little London, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
