Wedding hog roast for Wallcrouch
Wedding hog roast near Wallcrouch
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. For wedding breakfasts and home weddings, we can cook crackling, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork and more.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Wallcrouch, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rough numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or TN5 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Space, access and the venue
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Space well clear of tents and trees

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.

Wallcrouch: your questions answered
How far is Wallcrouch from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
Can you cater after a service at Shover's Green Baptist Chapel?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
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.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
