Wedding hog roast in Hollington
About our wedding hog roast in Hollington
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include farm weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, with halloumi skewers, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
For a smaller place like Hollington, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Why choose a hog roast in Hollington?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Planned to your running order

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Golden-hour photos in Hollington at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Hollington: your questions answered
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast in Old Roar Gill and Coronation Wood?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
