About our wedding hog roast in Bachelor's Bump
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater blessings and renewals and small, informal weddings.
Near Bachelor's Bump, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

How it works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. For a summer wedding in Bachelor's Bump, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Name a contact for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Questions from Bachelor's Bump
Is Bachelor's Bump too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Speckled Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
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.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Do you cover Bachelor's Bump?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
