Wedding hog roast near Middleton
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. On the menu are new potatoes, crackling and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater blessings and renewals and wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in a small place like Middleton often 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Middleton hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children usually like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Middleton questions
Do you come out to small places like Middleton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
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 leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you come to Middleton?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What affects the price in Middleton
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How many people are eating
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
These are the details we need:
- Allergies we should know about
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Your date and serving time
- Anything the venue has asked for
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: fill in our quote form.

What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Middleton are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: fill in our quote form.
