Wedding hog roast in Broad Ford, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. For second-day get-togethers and wedding breakfasts, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and crackling and more.
Near Broad Ford, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.

FAQs for Broad Ford
Is Broad Ford too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.

It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Prices and what affects them
Each price is built from:
- Crockery choices
- The date and time of year
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
