About our wedding hog roast in Hulverstone
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We are frequently asked to cater vow renewals and blessings and marquee receptions, with halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Hulverstone, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
See our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Hulverstone is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Golden-hour photos in Hulverstone at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
