Wedding hog roast for Tile Hurst
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Tile Hurst, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:00pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment

How our wedding hog roast works in Tile Hurst
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. We’re frequently asked to cater late-night wedding food and marquee weddings, with carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Tile Hurst frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
For event organisers in Tile Hurst
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Where the roaster can go in Tile Hurst

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
