Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Permission for outside catering
- A way in for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Wedding hog roast in Whitehall, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include salads, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater weddings in a family garden and small, informal weddings.
Rural weddings around Whitehall have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For event organisers in Whitehall
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Whitehall, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
