How our wedding hog roast works in Grayswood
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We are frequently asked to cater farm weddings and evening food after the first dance, with carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Grayswood, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter weddings in Grayswood are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Whether you want china

Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.

Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
