Wedding hog roast for Walter's Ash
About our wedding hog roast in Walter's Ash
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and rustic barn receptions, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
A wedding in a small place like Walter's Ash often means a field, a barn or a family garden. 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, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
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.
About the food
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London.
Will there be enough to go round?

Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
