For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Wedding hog roast in Church Street, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. We are often asked to cater home weddings and rustic barn receptions, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and salads.
There is something special about a country wedding near Church Street, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat

Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.

The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can you be flexible on serving time?

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu

- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Church Street, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
