Wedding hog roast in Blacknest
FAQs for Blacknest
Is Blacknest too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide electricity?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
About our wedding hog roast in Blacknest
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. We serve spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and salads, and we are often booked for evening receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides.
Near Blacknest, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At a December wedding in Blacknest, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
