Slow-roasted pork in Rose Hill
Wedding hog roast near Rose Hill
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and evening receptions, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling.
There is something special about a country wedding near Rose Hill, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

Space, access and the venue

- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

Rose Hill: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Rose Hill close to London?
About 25 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
For event organisers in Rose Hill
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
A hog roast or other catering?
