Slow-roasted pork in Lumley
How our wedding hog roast works in Lumley
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We serve new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater the day after the wedding and evening food after the first dance.
Near Lumley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Lighting for evening service
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

What affects the price in Lumley
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Menu choices and extras
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- Dietary requirements
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo

For planners, venues and organisers
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why choose a hog roast in Lumley?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Serving and clearing done for you
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
How the day works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Evening food at a Lumley wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
