How our wedding hog roast works in Wickhambreaux
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Wickhambreaux suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it is late-night wedding food and the main wedding meal, we will put together a menu of salads, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb and more.
Rural weddings around Wickhambreaux have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter weddings in Wickhambreaux are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

FAQs for Wickhambreaux
Do you come out to small places like Wickhambreaux?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Wickhambreaux from London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
