Slow-roasted pork in Bull Hill
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Wedding hog roast near Bull Hill
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and relaxed, low-key weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Bull Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

For planners, venues and organisers
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
