Wedding hog roast in West Burton, carved to order

Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and new potatoes, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and post-wedding gatherings.

A wedding in a small place like West Burton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them

The biggest factors are:

  • The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • The date and time of year
  • Crockery choices

When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Getting an accurate quote

Here’s what we will ask:

  • Your menu choices
  • Rough numbers
  • The date and when you’d like to eat
  • Rules from the venue or landowner

The menu, 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.

Crackling

The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.

Planning for dietary needs

Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

  • If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
  • Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
  • Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
  • Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice

Evening food generally goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.

Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

Full catering or machine hire?

If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

  • Arrival time and how long the roast needs
  • Whether travel is included

Read the checklist

Planning the cooking spot

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:

  • Light near the carving station after dark
  • A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
  • The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
