A hog roast near Nutcombe
Wedding hog roast in Nutcombe, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. We are frequently asked to cater small, informal weddings and the day after the wedding, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Nutcombe, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What you get with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, sunset in Nutcombe is about 9:20pm, 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 7:05pm.
