The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Wedding hog roast in Brambridge, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. On the menu are crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Brambridge frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Brambridge at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access

Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- How long the roast and service take
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Menu choices and extras
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
To get the best quote, send us:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give final numbers in good time
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
