A hog roast near Watermead
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
About our wedding hog roast in Watermead
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Typical bookings include barn and farm weddings and vow renewals and blessings, serving carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and salads.
For a smaller place like Watermead, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Why choose wedding hog roast in Watermead?
Hot food late in the evening is always welcome, after a night on the dance floor.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near Watermead, such as:
- Blessings and renewals
- Rustic barn receptions
- Marquee weddings
- Late-night wedding food
Marrying at Church of St James? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether travel is included
- Plates, china and cutlery
- How they handle allergens and dietary needs
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
What affects the price in Watermead
The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

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

What else we do in Watermead
Watermead: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Served at the time you choose
