Wedding hog roast in Brede, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. We serve new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home.
Rural weddings around Brede have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

The biggest factors are:
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Site access

For event organisers in Brede

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding in Brede. In Brede, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
