Wedding hog roast in Padbury, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For marquee receptions and garden weddings at home, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads for your guests.
Rural weddings around Padbury 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Padbury?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Common questions in Padbury
Is Padbury too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
