Wedding hog roast in Russell's Green
How our wedding hog roast works in Russell's Green
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Whether it’s the main wedding meal and second-day get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
A wedding in a small place like Russell's Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Russell's Green, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Russell's Green questions
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Russell's Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
