Wedding hog roast for Chambers' Green
About our wedding hog roast in Chambers' Green
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. We are frequently asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and barn and farm weddings, with spit-roast lamb, salads and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Chambers' Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- All the equipment comes with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wedding in Chambers' Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
