About our wedding hog roast in Brandfold
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee and anniversary vow renewals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Brandfold, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
- Season and day of the week
- The journey to the venue
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
