Slow-roasted pork in Simpson

There is something special about a country wedding near Simpson, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.

What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The date and time of year
A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Simpson
Is Simpson too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is Simpson close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
From the roaster
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- New potatoes
- Crackling
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast or jacket potatoes
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in Simpson is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
