Wedding hog roast in Bagnor
Wedding hog roast near Bagnor
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for farm weddings and evening receptions.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Bagnor, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?

The menu, dish by dish

Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding in Bagnor. In Bagnor, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
