Wedding hog roast in Wendlebury
Wedding hog roast near Wendlebury
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We are often asked to cater weddings in a family garden and the main wedding meal, with halloumi skewers, salads and crackling.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Wendlebury, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb is popular alongside the pork, especially for guests who don’t eat pork.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At a December wedding in Wendlebury, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

Questions from Wendlebury
Is Wendlebury too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Giles?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
