Wedding hog roast near Durley
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. For weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and salads and more.
Near Durley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter weddings in Durley are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
