Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Wedding hog roast near Mayfield
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We are often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and second-day get-togethers, serving new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Mayfield frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Winter weddings in Mayfield are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
