DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Common questions in West Bedfont
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.

About 16 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
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.

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
