Rural weddings around Middlegreen have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
- Travel to Middlegreen
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Can you do a hog roast in Ditton Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.

The closest is Langley station, roughly 0.7 miles away.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.

Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Middlegreen, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s 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.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
