About our wedding hog roast in Throwley
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers, and we’re often booked for late-night wedding food and home weddings.
Near Throwley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What affects the price in Throwley
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The number of people
- Access to the cooking area
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Dietary requirements
When you’re weighing up caterers, ask each one exactly what’s included. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.

- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- If the price includes VAT
- Any travel or access charges
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Winter weddings in Throwley are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
