Popular choices include salads, crackling and carved roast pork, and typical bookings are for post-wedding gatherings and late-night wedding food.
A wedding in a small place like Poundsbridge often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Before you choose a spot

About the food
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, sunset in Poundsbridge is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
