Wedding hog roast in Hillesden, slow-roasted on site
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a family garden and second-day get-togethers, with salads, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
Near Hillesden, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Golden-hour photos in Hillesden at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
