About our wedding hog roast in Skinners Green
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. For weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Rural weddings around Skinners Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding

- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Menu choices and extras
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Skinners Green at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:

Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.

Questions from Skinners Green
Is Skinners Green too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you cook in Hamstead Marshall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
