Wedding hog roast in Nash, carved to order

There is something special about a country wedding near Nash, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle.

Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:

- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Nash, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Questions from Nash
Is Nash too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Nash close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
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.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Lighting for evening service
- Permission for outside catering
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
