How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Winter weddings in Standlake are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day

Wedding hog roast in Standlake, slow-roasted on site
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We are often asked to cater weddings in a marquee and late-night wedding food, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Near Standlake, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Standlake
Do you come out to small places like Standlake?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Standlake from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you cater in Standlake?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- No surprises: everything in writing

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Distance from us
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Details that help
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
