DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
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.
Wedding hog roast in Perry Vale, carved to order
For a relaxed wedding in Perry Vale, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. Typical bookings include farm weddings and the day after the wedding, serving crackling, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
London weddings around Perry Vale frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, which many London venues cannot offer, so ask early. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Working with your venue
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.

Perry Vale questions
Can you do a hog roast in Mayow Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
We are gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll sort the details with them.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.

What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Whether you want china
- Time on site
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At a December wedding in Perry Vale, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.

- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
