About our wedding hog roast in Coolham
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. We serve new potatoes, crackling and salads, and we’re frequently booked for the day after the wedding and marquee weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Coolham, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
