Wedding hog roast in Winklebury, carved to order
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include marquee receptions and the main wedding meal, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and new potatoes.
For a smaller place like Winklebury, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.

A hog roast compared with other options
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
