Slow-roasted pork in Charndon
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Wedding hog roast in Charndon, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater small, informal weddings and late-night wedding food.
A wedding in a small place like Charndon often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Why choose a hog roast in Charndon?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Charndon: your questions answered
Is Charndon too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. At a December wedding in Charndon, it’s 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 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
