A hog roast near Upper Chute
Wedding hog roast in Upper Chute, slow-roasted on site
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include home weddings and the main wedding meal, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Upper Chute often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At a December wedding in Upper Chute, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Upper Chute questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Upper Chute 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.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cater in Upper Chute?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
