Wedding hog roast in Nalderswood, slow-roasted on site
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We serve spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for the day after the wedding and evening food after the first dance.
There is something special about a country wedding near Nalderswood, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Should I cook it myself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
