Wedding hog roast for Golden Cross
Wedding hog roast in Golden Cross, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We are often asked to cater wedding breakfasts and weddings in a family garden, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Golden Cross frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. 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.

For event organisers in Golden Cross
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Golden Cross, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food 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.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
