What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. At midsummer, sunset in Phoenix Green is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Wedding hog roast in Phoenix Green, 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, carved roast pork and crackling, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and blessings and wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in a small place like Phoenix Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.
Common questions in Phoenix Green

Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Can you cook inside the marquee?

Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
