How our wedding hog roast works in Halfway
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. For second-day get-togethers and wedding breakfasts, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Halfway, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- An estimate of numbers
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Halfway questions
Is Halfway close to London?
Roughly 57 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Halfway?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Permission for outside catering

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
Read our pricing or the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
