Slow-roasted pork in Fickleshole
About our wedding hog roast in Fickleshole
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We’re often asked to cater evening food after the first dance and the day after the wedding, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Fickleshole frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

FAQs for Fickleshole
Can you do a hog roast in Addington Vale?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Step by step
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Fickleshole, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
