Wedding hog roast near Longworth
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee and garden weddings at home, serving rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Longworth have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In Longworth, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm 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.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Light near the carving station after dark
- 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.
