Wedding hog roast in Sutton-under-Brailes, carved to order
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are crackling, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork, and we are often booked for wedding breakfasts with sides and intimate weddings.
There is something special about a country wedding near Sutton-under-Brailes, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

What else we do in Sutton-under-Brailes
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Sutton-under-Brailes, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Gather dietary requirements early

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
