Wedding hog roast in Nutfield, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. We are often asked to cater weddings in a family garden and second-day get-togethers, serving rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Nutfield, 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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

Questions from Nutfield
Could you cook in Nutfield Marshes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How far is Nutfield from London?
About 18 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Nutfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
