Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose

The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Cock Marling, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
