Wedding hog roast in Baldslow, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Whether it is post-wedding gatherings and marquee receptions, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and carved roast pork for your guests.
There is something special about a country wedding near Baldslow, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains.

Common questions in Baldslow
Is Baldslow too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Baldslow?
The closest is Ore station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Evening food at a Baldslow wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Planned to your running order

- Light near the carving station after dark
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
