Wedding hog roast in Hawthorn Hill, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We serve new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for the main wedding meal and weddings in a family garden.
A wedding in a small place like Hawthorn Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Hawthorn Hill: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Hawthorn Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Hawthorn Hill, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
