Wedding hog roast in Fernhill, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. On the menu are salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic barn receptions and second-day get-togethers.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Fernhill, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Looking after everyone
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Permission for outside catering
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In Fernhill, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, 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 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it is 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.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
