A hog roast near Congelow
Wedding hog roast in Congelow, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For the main wedding meal and weddings in a marquee, we can cook carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Congelow, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Congelow wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:15pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
