What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

Wedding hog roast in Bilsham, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and we are often booked for late-night wedding food and the day after the wedding.
Rural weddings around Bilsham 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. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening food at a Bilsham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day

- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

What else we do in Bilsham
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
