How our wedding hog roast works in Tilford
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. For evening receptions and post-wedding gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Tilford often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Tilford
Could you cook in Thundry Meadows?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Golden-hour photos in Tilford at midsummer come around 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
