Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Beech Hill
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Swallowfield Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Wedding hog roast in Beech Hill, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. We serve halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and second-day get-togethers.
Near Beech Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Planning the cooking spot

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
