Slow-roasted pork in Frostlane
How our wedding hog roast works in Frostlane
For a relaxed wedding in Frostlane, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. Typical bookings include anniversary vow renewals and weddings in a marquee, with salads, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Frostlane, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Frostlane, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
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 typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Carved to order by a chef
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- We bring everything to cook and serve
