Slow-roasted pork in Great Kimble
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How our wedding hog roast works in Great Kimble
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. For wedding breakfasts with sides and vow renewals and blessings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes and more.
A wedding in a small place like Great Kimble frequently 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. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
For event organisers in Great Kimble
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Great Kimble, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often 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.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
