The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Golden-hour photos in Perry at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

How our wedding hog roast works in Perry
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Typical bookings include home weddings and vow renewals and blessings, with rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Perry, 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 hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Perry questions
Which station is closest to Perry?
Adisham station, about 3.6 miles south-west of the centre.
How far is Perry from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- 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
