About our wedding hog roast in New Copse
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We are often asked to cater late-night wedding food and wedding breakfasts, serving salads, carved roast pork and crackling.
Near New Copse, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
What a hog roast costs
We work out each quote from:
- Menu choices and extras

- Anything the venue has asked for
- Any dietary needs or allergies

How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a New Copse wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

- 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.
