Wedding hog roast for Sunnymeads
Wedding hog roast in Sunnymeads, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We’re often asked to cater weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, serving salads, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
There is something special about a country wedding near Sunnymeads, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Sunnymeads, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
