Wedding hog roast in South Harewood, carved to order
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We are frequently asked to cater barn and farm weddings and the day after the wedding, serving halloumi skewers, crackling and carved roast pork.
Near South Harewood, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

Should I cook it myself?

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, sunset in South Harewood is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
