How our wedding hog roast works in Salfords
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. Whether it is marquee receptions and relaxed, low-key weddings, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Salfords frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.

Questions from Salfords
We’re gathering after a service at Christ the King: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What’s the nearest station to Salfords?
Salfords has its own station: Salfords station.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening food at a Salfords wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
