How the day 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. For a summer wedding in Sulhamstead, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

How our wedding hog roast works in Sulhamstead
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is late-night wedding food and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb and more.
A wedding in a small place like Sulhamstead often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
