About our wedding hog roast in Little London

Rural weddings around Little London have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

The carving station brings guests together, and it makes a lovely photo.

A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
