The process
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Golden-hour photos in Wokefield at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.

FAQs for Wokefield
Is Wokefield too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Wokefield?
The closest is Mortimer station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Numbers
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who does not eat pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
