Slow-roasted pork in Rotherwick
Wedding hog roast in Rotherwick, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. For weddings in a marquee and weddings in a family garden, we can cook halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Rotherwick have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Power for lights in the evening
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
