Wedding hog roast for Snoll Hatch
Wedding hog roast in Snoll Hatch, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for vow renewals and blessings and relaxed, low-key weddings.
Near Snoll Hatch, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: 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 leave the spot tidy when we go.
Common questions in Snoll Hatch
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Snoll Hatch close to London?
About 29 miles from central London.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.

A closer look at the menu

Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In Snoll Hatch, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently 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.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
