A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Grove Hill hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef

About our wedding hog roast in Grove Hill
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it’s anniversary vow renewals and marquee receptions, we can cook new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Grove Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

For event organisers in Grove Hill
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.

What we serve, dish by dish

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Grove Hill, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
