A hog roast near Hale Street
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At a December wedding in Hale Street, it’s 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 9:15pm.

How our wedding hog roast works in Hale Street
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. On the menu are new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for rustic barn receptions and anniversary vow renewals.
Near Hale Street, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
