How our wedding hog roast works in Hawley
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Hawley. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. For home weddings and the main wedding meal, we can cook carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
For a smaller place like Hawley, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding

What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Permission for outside catering
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Hawley
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Hawley?
Hawley has its own station: Blackwater station.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Golden-hour photos in Hawley at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
