Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include the main wedding meal and rustic barn receptions, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Crossbush frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer wedding in Crossbush, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Travel to Crossbush
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
