About our wedding hog roast in Vigo Village
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. We serve carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for rustic barn receptions and weddings in a family garden.
Near Vigo Village, weddings are often 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. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat.
What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, sunset in Vigo Village is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. 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.

Vigo Village questions
Is Vigo Village close to London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Trosley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Will guests be full?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
