Wedding hog roast in Princes Risborough
How our wedding hog roast works in Princes Risborough
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. For marquee receptions and post-wedding gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a smaller place like Princes Risborough, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Princes Risborough wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Princes Risborough
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We’re gathering after a service at St Teresa's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
