Wedding hog roast in Whaddon, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is home weddings and rustic barn receptions, we can cook new potatoes, crackling and carved roast pork for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Whaddon, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What happens on the day
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can get on with your wedding in Whaddon. For a summer wedding in Whaddon, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
