Wedding hog roast for Hydestile
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.

FAQs for Hydestile
How far is Hydestile from London?
Roughly 33 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Hydestile?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What comes with the hog roast?
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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Permission for outside catering
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Hydestile
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Step by step
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Winter weddings in Hydestile are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
