Slow-roasted pork in Twitham
Wedding hog roast in Twitham, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Popular choices include carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater rustic barn receptions and marquee receptions.
Near Twitham, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Numbers
- Crockery choices
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
These are the details we need:

- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Allergies we should know about

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Twitham
Which station is closest to Twitham?
Adisham station, about 2.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Is Twitham 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.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
