Wedding hog roast near Holmwood Corner
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Popular choices include salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for post-wedding gatherings and weddings in a family garden.
Near Holmwood Corner, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions.

How the day works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. At a December wedding in Holmwood Corner, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Holmwood Corner: your questions answered
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast in Inholms Clay Pit?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What do you need from us on the day?

- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
