How our wedding hog roast works in Northney
For a relaxed wedding in Northney, a hog roast hits the right note: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Typical bookings include marquee receptions and post-wedding gatherings, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
Rural weddings around Northney have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer wedding in Northney, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
