Book a hog roast in East Studdal
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Wedding hog roast in East Studdal, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and anniversary vow renewals.
Rural weddings around East Studdal have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.

In East Studdal, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, 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 3:50pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
