How our wedding hog roast works in Langley
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Langley: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for farm weddings and marquee receptions.
Near Langley, weddings are frequently 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. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wedding in Langley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

What a hog roast costs
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, send us:
- Dietary requirements
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
