Questions from Weeke
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Matthew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first.
How big a hog will we need?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Do you serve the food?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Wedding hog roast in Weeke, slow-roasted on site
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. On the menu are carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re often booked for marquee receptions and the main wedding meal.
A farm or garden wedding near Weeke suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- A picture of the cooking area
- An estimate of numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Weeke, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.

Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A way in for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Lighting for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
