Wedding hog roast for North Crawley
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Wedding hog roast in North Crawley, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening receptions.
Near North Crawley, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Lighting for evening service
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.

How far is North Crawley from London?
About 47 miles from central London.
Can you cater in North Crawley?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.

Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
