About our wedding hog roast in Bierley
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. We serve carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and weddings in a marquee.
Near Bierley, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Looking after everyone
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening food at a Bierley wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. The main factors are:
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Allergies we should know about
- Roughly how many people
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. We spell it out in ours. To get yours, fill in our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
