Wedding hog roast in West Green
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Wedding hog roast near West Green
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in West Green: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts and weddings in a family garden, serving rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
Rural weddings around West Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Working with your venue
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 planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some.

West Green questions
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is West Green close to London?
About 38 miles from central London.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
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’ll check it with you before booking.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
