How our wedding hog roast works in Kingswood
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and second-day get-togethers, serving carved roast pork, salads and new potatoes.
Near Kingswood, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter weddings in Kingswood are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
