About our wedding hog roast in Chilswell
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We’re frequently asked to cater evening food after the first dance and rustic barn receptions, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Near Chilswell, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Evening food at a Chilswell wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
