About our wedding hog roast in Maplehurst

There is something special about a country wedding near Maplehurst, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Maplehurst, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Maplehurst
Do you come out to small places like Maplehurst?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
