How our wedding hog roast works in Mowshurst
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. Whether it is the main wedding meal and weddings in a marquee, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Mowshurst, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:

We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.

Common questions in Mowshurst
Is Mowshurst close to London?
Roughly 21 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
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 will gather.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you come to Mowshurst?
Yes, Mowshurst is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
