A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How our wedding hog roast works in St Nicholas at Wade
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re frequently asked to cater marquee receptions and farm weddings, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and new potatoes.
A wedding in a small place like St Nicholas at Wade frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Common questions in St Nicholas at Wade
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like St Nicholas at Wade?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will work with them on the details.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

What a hog roast costs
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:

- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, sunset in St Nicholas at Wade is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:45pm, and in late September about 7:00pm.
