Wedding hog roast in Bramley
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Winter weddings in Bramley are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For blessings and renewals and post-wedding gatherings, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your guests.

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Getting an accurate quote
When you contact us, please mention:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- The address or postcode
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
