Wedding hog roast for Speedwell
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Wedding hog roast near Speedwell
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and late-night wedding food.
A wedding in a small place like Speedwell often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Questions from Speedwell
How far is Speedwell from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Speedwell?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you come to Speedwell?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Speedwell and Milton Keynes. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
