Wedding hog roast in Burnt Hill, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is the main wedding meal and home weddings, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your guests.
Near Burnt Hill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
FAQs for Burnt Hill
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Burnt Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
For event organisers in Burnt Hill
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels special. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
