Wedding hog roast for Little Woodcote
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter weddings in Little Woodcote are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

About our wedding hog roast in Little Woodcote
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We’re frequently asked to cater rustic barn receptions and small, informal weddings, serving new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Couples in Little Woodcote often hold the reception at a local venue or at home. The roaster needs an outdoor spot under cover, away from the building, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

FAQs for Little Woodcote
We are gathering after a service at St. Patrick's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Little Woodcote?
The closest is Woodmansterne station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you’re not left with the mess.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
