Wedding hog roast for Lyford
How our wedding hog roast works in Lyford
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Lyford. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Popular choices include new potatoes, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for the main wedding meal and second-day get-togethers.
Near Lyford, weddings are often 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 people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Lyford questions
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Lyford?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.

What else we do in Lyford
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Lyford wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 9:00pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
