Wedding hog roast in Lyne, carved to order

Common questions in Lyne
Is Lyne too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of Holy Trinity?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Midweek and quieter months are often 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 book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Lyne at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
