No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How big a hog will we need?
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?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Winter weddings in Nackington are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
