Wedding hog roast in Littleton, slow-roasted on site
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. Typical bookings include small, informal weddings and weddings in a family garden, with crackling, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
There is something special about a country wedding near Littleton, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evening food at a Littleton wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Common questions in Littleton
How far is Littleton from London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
