Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. Evening food at a Chalkshire wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Lighting for evening service
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
