A wedding in a small place like Durfold Wood often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot.

Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter weddings in Durfold Wood are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Name a contact for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
