Wedding hog roast in Highleigh
How our wedding hog roast works in Highleigh
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. For farm weddings and evening receptions, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and new potatoes for your guests.
Near Highleigh, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Highleigh, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
