Wedding hog roast in Lake, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for late-night wedding food and vow renewals and blessings.
A farm or garden wedding near Lake suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What affects the price in Lake
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, we will need:
- Dietary requirements
- Your menu choices
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or PO36 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
For somewhere as remote as Lake, early notice helps us plan the trip.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
