How our wedding hog roast works in Rowley Green

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. Typical bookings include rustic barn receptions and weddings in a marquee, serving crackling, carved roast pork and salads.

In Rowley Green, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we will work through it together. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Full catering or machine hire?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Perfect for your wedding in Rowley Green

No kitchen is needed at the venue, ideal for marquee and field weddings.

In Rowley Green and nearby, we cater for all sorts of events. Some of the most common are:

  • Evening receptions
  • Rustic barn receptions
  • Anniversary vow renewals

Barnet Gate Wood can make a pretty photo stop, but check its rules for wedding groups first.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Questions from Rowley Green

Could you cook in Barnet Gate Wood?

Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can you cater after a service at Holy Cross?

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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

Can you be flexible on serving time?

We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Can you do our evening wedding food?

Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.

Is there a non-pork option?

Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.

Can you cater in Rowley Green?

We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.

Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?

Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.

The menu, dish by dish

Crackling

Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.

How it works

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, sunset in Rowley Green is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
  3. We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
  4. The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
  5. Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.

How to prepare

  • Have a level outdoor spot ready
  • Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
  • Name a contact for the day
