Wedding hog roast in Hound Green
Wedding hog roast in Hound Green, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and weddings in a marquee, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes.
Near Hound Green, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At midsummer, sunset in Hound Green is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
