Wedding hog roast for Iwade
About our wedding hog roast in Iwade
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it is blessings and renewals and second-day get-togethers, we can cook rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and crackling.
In Iwade, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. 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.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, sunset in Iwade is about 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.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Iwade
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Iwade?
Kemsley station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
A hog roast compared with other options

What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- All the equipment comes with us
