Wedding hog roast for Three Ashes
Wedding hog roast near Three Ashes
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater intimate weddings and the day after the wedding, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Three Ashes frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Golden-hour photos in Three Ashes at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

Other occasions in Three Ashes
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Three Ashes
Can you cater after a service at Church of St. Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Three Ashes from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Planning the cooking spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
