Wedding hog roast in Hurst Green
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- A choice of salads and potatoes

How our wedding hog roast works in Hurst Green
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. For wedding breakfasts and second-day get-togethers, we can cook halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Hurst Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Golden-hour photos in Hurst Green at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.

About the food

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
