Slow-roasted pork in Woodgreen
About our wedding hog roast in Woodgreen
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Whether it is small, informal weddings and second-day get-togethers, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and carved roast pork and more.
A wedding in a small place like Woodgreen often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
How to prepare

Woodgreen questions
Is Woodgreen too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at St Boniface: can you cater?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Permission for outside catering
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Why us?
- Serving and clearing done for you
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
See how we price or the cost guide.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Why choose wedding hog roast in Woodgreen?
