How our wedding hog roast works in Haylands
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Typical bookings include marquee weddings and relaxed, low-key weddings, with crackling, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
Weddings in a place like Haylands often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Haylands: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St. Michael and All Angels: 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. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Haylands?
Ryde St Johns Road station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Light near the carving station after dark
For somewhere as remote as Haylands, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.
How the day works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding in Haylands. In Haylands, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
For event organisers in Haylands
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
