Wedding hog roast in Water Eaton

About our wedding hog roast in Water Eaton

We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater evening receptions and home weddings.

A farm or garden wedding near Water Eaton suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Why Water Eaton hosts choose us

  • Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests
  • Our staff serve and clear

Common questions in Water Eaton

Could you cook in Waterhall Park?

Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.

Is Water Eaton close to London?

Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What happens in bad weather?

The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.

Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?

It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.

What do people get?

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

How much room do you need?

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.

Who serves?

No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.

What we serve, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken

Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

For event organisers in Water Eaton

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.

Full catering or machine hire?

If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Looking after everyone

You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:

  • Request gluten-free rolls if needed
  • Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
  • Confirm final numbers a week or so before
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers

If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.

Choose sides to make it a full meal.

What the cooking area needs

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

  • Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
  • A route to wheel equipment to the spot
  • Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
