There’s something special about a country wedding near Freeland, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours.

FAQs for Freeland
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Freeland?
Combe station, about 1.3 miles north of the centre.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook. Evening food at a Freeland wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:30pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Access to the cooking area
- The number of people
- Time on site
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and time of the event
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
