Wedding hog roast near Bridgemary
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Bridgemary. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We’re often asked to cater weddings in a family garden and rustic barn receptions, with halloumi skewers, salads and carved roast pork.
For a smaller place like Bridgemary, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing

How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding. At a December wedding in Bridgemary, it’s 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 9:20pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- 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
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day

Planners, venues and businesses
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Here’s what affects the price:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
