About our wedding hog roast in Mortimer West End
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for evening food after the first dance and garden weddings at home.
Near Mortimer West End, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

FAQs for Mortimer West End
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St.Saviours?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Mortimer West End?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Step by step
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Mortimer West End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
