Wedding hog roast for Wallend
How our wedding hog roast works in Wallend
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Whether it’s marquee weddings and weddings in a family garden, we can cook rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Wallend, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Golden-hour photos in Wallend at midsummer come around 9:15pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.

Common questions in Wallend
Do you come out to small places like Wallend?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St James?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
