Slow-roasted pork in Sandleheath
How our wedding hog roast works in Sandleheath
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Popular choices include carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for wedding breakfasts with sides and evening receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Sandleheath frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Your quote depends on:
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Dietary requirements
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Sandleheath, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Lighting for evening service
- Space well clear of tents and trees
