About our wedding hog roast in Ballinger Common
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it is the day after the wedding and rustic barn receptions, we can cook halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
A wedding in a small place like Ballinger Common frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. Winter weddings in Ballinger Common are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
