Slow-roasted pork in Cold Harbour
Wedding hog roast near Cold Harbour
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. We serve carved roast pork, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic barn receptions and marquee weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Cold Harbour often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Prices and what affects them

- Crockery choices

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Winter weddings in Cold Harbour are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
