Wedding hog roast in Goose Hill, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and the main wedding meal, with crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Rural weddings around Goose Hill have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Time on site
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or RG19 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally 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.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:

- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Evening food at a Goose Hill wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
