How our wedding hog roast works in Kirdford
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We serve halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for blessings and renewals and intimate weddings.
Rural weddings around Kirdford have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Questions from Kirdford
Do you come out to small places like Kirdford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Kirdford close to London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, sunset in Kirdford is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.

- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
