Slow-roasted pork in Speen
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Wedding hog roast in Speen, slow-roasted on site
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. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a family garden and second-day get-togethers, with rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and crackling.
Near Speen, weddings are frequently 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 plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Power for lights in the evening
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Speen questions
Which station is closest to Speen?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is Speen close to London?
About 32 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
