Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. 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.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
South Heath questions
What’s the nearest station to South Heath?
Great Missenden station, about 1.2 miles west of the centre.
Is South Heath close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Step-free access for our equipment
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
