Wedding hog roast near Longfield Hill
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Popular choices include salads, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for wedding breakfasts and weddings in a marquee.
A wedding in a small place like Longfield Hill frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Power for lights in the evening
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Common questions in Longfield Hill
Do you come out to small places like Longfield Hill?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Rectory Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Why choose a hog roast in Longfield Hill?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- An itemised quote
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
