About our wedding hog roast in Upper Wield
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is small, informal weddings and second-day get-togethers, we can cook new potatoes, carved roast pork and salads for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Upper Wield 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 is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- The date and time of year
- Numbers
- Time on site
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The venue or postcode
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Use our quote form.
What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
A hog roast compared with other options
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
