Wedding hog roast near Hell Corner
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include crackling, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we are frequently booked for farm weddings and late-night wedding food.
There is something special about a country wedding near Hell Corner, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
A hog roast or other catering?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- An itemised quote
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
See our prices page and the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
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.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The address or postcode
- Your date and serving time
- Allergies we should know about
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or RG17 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.

What else we do in Hell Corner
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Hell Corner
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Laurence?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Hell Corner too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Hell Corner?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At a December wedding in Hell Corner, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
