Wedding hog roast in Lower End
Wedding hog roast in Lower End, carved to order
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include garden weddings at home and evening food after the first dance, with halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and salads.
Near Lower End, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Evening food at a Lower End wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm 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.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.

- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early

Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- Travel to Lower End
- Plates or china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- An estimate of numbers
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.

Lower End questions
How far is Lower End from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Lower End?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
