Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Padworth Common
Is Padworth Common too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Padworth Common close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
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.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Do you cover Padworth Common?
Yes, Padworth Common is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. At a December wedding in Padworth Common, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
