What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
How our wedding hog roast works in Lye Green
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We’re often asked to cater marquee receptions and barn and farm weddings, with new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
There is something special about a country wedding near Lye Green, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lye Green
Which station is closest to Lye Green?
The closest is Berkhamsted station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Lye Green, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Let us know about tight access
