Wedding hog roast in Felderland
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. In Felderland, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Wedding hog roast near Felderland
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and rustic barn receptions, serving halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Felderland frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

FAQs for Felderland
Which station is closest to Felderland?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Felderland too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
