Slow-roasted pork in Binley
Wedding hog roast near Binley
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Whether it’s barn and farm weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook crackling, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
Rural weddings around Binley 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. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- Numbers
- Travel to Binley
- How long the roast and service take
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: use our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.

How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter weddings in Binley are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Let us know about tight access
