Wedding hog roast in Ash Vale
Wedding hog roast near Ash Vale
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. For late-night wedding food and weddings in a family garden, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
In Ash Vale, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
For event organisers in Ash Vale
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Ash Vale, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
