Wedding hog roast in Runfold, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include late-night wedding food and second-day get-togethers, serving carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
Rural weddings around Runfold 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. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
