Wedding hog roast near Coldharbour
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include rustic barn receptions and anniversary vow renewals, serving halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
Near Coldharbour, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Winter weddings in Coldharbour are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
