Wedding hog roast in Hoath, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Popular choices include salads, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for vow renewals and blessings and small, informal weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Hoath, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in Hoath
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Hoath
Is Hoath close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of the Holy Cross: can you cater?
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.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
