Wedding hog roast in Pizien Well, carved to order
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. On the menu are carved roast pork, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and rustic barn receptions.
Rural weddings around Pizien Well have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Questions from Pizien Well
Which station is closest to Pizien Well?
The closest is Wateringbury station, roughly 1 mile away.
Is Pizien Well too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
