How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wedding in Jevington, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us a contact number for the day

Wedding hog roast in Jevington, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. We are often asked to cater intimate weddings and farm weddings, serving crackling, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Jevington have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

What affects the price in Jevington
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
