Wedding hog roast in Patcham, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. For garden weddings at home and weddings in a marquee, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes for your guests.
In Patcham, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Questions from Patcham
Which station is closest to Patcham?
Preston Park station, about 1.3 miles south of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at All Saints Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Power for lights in the evening
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
