A hog roast near Lewknor
What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Winter weddings in Lewknor 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.

How our wedding hog roast works in Lewknor
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. On the menu are carved roast pork, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and farm weddings.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Lewknor, 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.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

About the food
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Why choose a hog roast in Lewknor?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Lewknor hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- An itemised quote

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
