Wedding hog roast near Leeds
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For post-wedding gatherings and small, informal weddings, we can cook spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and salads for your guests.
Near Leeds, 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. 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 book our hog roast in Leeds

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Leeds wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:15pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
