How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. At midsummer, sunset in Tonge Corner is about 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.

Wedding hog roast near Tonge Corner
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Whether it is evening food after the first dance and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Tonge Corner frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Common questions in Tonge Corner
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Giles: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Tonge Corner too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Where the roaster can go in Tonge Corner
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Permission for outside catering
- Light near the carving station after dark
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give final numbers in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
