Wedding hog roast for Smallfield
What we serve, dish by dish

Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Wedding hog roast in Smallfield, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Smallfield. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are crackling, carved roast pork and salads, and we are frequently booked for blessings and renewals and small, informal weddings.
In Smallfield, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Evening food at a Smallfield wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
