Near Potters Corner, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

At midsummer, sunset in Potters Corner is about 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.

Potters Corner questions
How far is Potters Corner from London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London.
Could you cook in Ashford Warren and Hoads Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
