Wedding hog roast in Goose Green, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and blessings and weddings in a marquee.
A wedding in a small place like Goose Green often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Golden-hour photos in Goose Green at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.

- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Goose Green
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
