Wedding hog roast for Hangersley
Wedding hog roast in Hangersley, carved to order
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. We are often asked to cater farm weddings and weddings in a marquee, serving crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb.
Near Hangersley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Common questions in Hangersley
We are gathering after a service at St John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hangersley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
