Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How our wedding hog roast works in Chale
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Popular choices include crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and barn and farm weddings.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Chale, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.

Questions from Chale
We’re gathering after a service at St Andrew's Church: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Chale?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cater in Chale?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
