Wedding hog roast in Morestead, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Popular choices include carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for marquee receptions and farm weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Morestead frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list

- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.

A hog roast or other catering?

Common questions in Morestead
Which station is closest to Morestead?
Shawford station, about 2.4 miles west of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Morestead Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
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 happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
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. Golden-hour photos in Morestead at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
