Slow-roasted pork in Bagmore
Wedding hog roast near Bagmore
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We’re frequently asked to cater second-day get-togethers and small, informal weddings, with crackling, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
There is something special about a country wedding near Bagmore, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A way in for the roaster

Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
