Wedding hog roast in Pyrton, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for blessings and renewals and intimate weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Pyrton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

What else we do in Pyrton
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Power for lights in the evening
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Pyrton, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Gather dietary requirements early

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Pyrton
Do you cater at venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Pyrton close to London?
About 41 miles from central London.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Prices and what affects them
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Any venue rules
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
