Wedding hog roast in Chilgrove, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are often asked to cater blessings and renewals and weddings in a family garden, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Near Chilgrove, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. 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.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. At a December wedding in Chilgrove, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
