Wedding hog roast in Fingest
The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Winter weddings in Fingest are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

About our wedding hog roast in Fingest
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Fingest. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We’re frequently asked to cater the main wedding meal and marquee weddings, serving salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Fingest frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
