How our wedding hog roast works in Beare Green
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Beare Green. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it’s second-day get-togethers and intimate weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken and more.
Rural weddings around Beare Green have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What affects the price in Beare Green
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Beare Green
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Beare Green?
Beare Green has its own station: Holmwood station.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do we need extra food?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At a December wedding in Beare Green, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food 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.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
