Wedding hog roast in Tudeley Hale, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Tudeley Hale: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. We serve rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we’re often booked for weddings in a family garden and rustic barn receptions.
Near Tudeley Hale, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Tudeley Hale wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
