Wedding hog roast in West End
Wedding hog roast in West End, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around West End suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for evening food after the first dance and marquee receptions.
Weddings in a place like West End frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evening food at a West End wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

What affects the price in West End
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- An estimate of numbers
- Where the event is
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or GU24 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, 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 big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Common questions in West End
Is West End close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Could you cook in Brentmoor Heath?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
