A hog roast near Heath End
Wedding hog roast in Heath End, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include rustic barn receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides, with rotisserie chicken, salads and crackling.
Near Heath End, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often 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.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:

What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or RG26 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. At a December wedding in Heath End, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
