Wedding hog roast in Lake End
Wedding hog roast near Lake End
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Whether it’s weddings in a family garden and post-wedding gatherings, we will put together a menu of salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Lake End, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Whether you want china
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lake End
Do you come out to small places like Lake End?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Haymill Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels special. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Serving and clearing done for you

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Lake End are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Give us a contact number for the day
