Wedding hog roast in Wooburn Common, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We are frequently asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and rustic barn receptions, serving new potatoes, salads and spit-roast lamb.
There is something special about a country wedding near Wooburn Common, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, 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 is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
For event organisers in Wooburn Common
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
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.
Wooburn Common: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Wooburn Common?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Wooburn Common?
The closest is Bourne End station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wedding in Wooburn Common, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
