How our wedding hog roast works in Willen
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include home weddings and intimate weddings, with spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken.
There is something special about a country wedding near Willen, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
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.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The date and time of the event
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so it is easy to compare like for like. Fill in our quote form.
Willen: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary Magdalene?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is Willen too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Before you choose a spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Lighting for evening service
- Step-free access for our equipment
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- The full menu and the sides
- How dietary needs are handled
How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Willen, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
