Wedding hog roast near Mill Lane
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Mill Lane. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve rotisserie chicken, salads and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater home weddings and evening food after the first dance.
Rural weddings around Mill Lane have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
- Which meats and sides you choose

To get the best quote, send us:
- An estimate of numbers

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
