About our wedding hog roast in Chilson
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Chilson. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are often asked to cater garden weddings at home and intimate weddings, with halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb.
Rural weddings around Chilson have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.

- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- All the equipment comes with us

A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
