Slow-roasted pork in Tutt Hill
Wedding hog roast near Tutt Hill
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Popular choices include crackling, spit-roast lamb and salads, and we are frequently booked for intimate weddings and the day after the wedding.
Near Tutt Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
