Wedding hog roast in Catsfield, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater rustic barn receptions and blessings and renewals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Catsfield, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Catsfield
What’s the nearest station to Catsfield?
Battle station, about 2.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Catsfield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.

Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests

- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Winter weddings in Catsfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
