How our wedding hog roast works in Hillstreet
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. For evening receptions and weddings in a marquee, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Hillstreet often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting for evening service
- Permission for outside catering
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices

Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. At a December wedding in Hillstreet, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
