A hog roast near St Peter's
Wedding hog roast in St Peter's, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We’re often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, serving salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Weddings in a place like St Peter's often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in St Peter's are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
St Peter's: your questions answered
How far is St Peter's from London?
About 66 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Parish Church of St Peter the Apostle: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
