Wedding hog roast near Shenley
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Popular choices include new potatoes, crackling and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater the main wedding meal and anniversary vow renewals.
A wedding in a small place like Shenley often 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 chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.

How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Evening food at a Shenley wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

- 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.
