Wedding hog roast in Woodrow, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are carved roast pork, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in a small place like Woodrow often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. At a December wedding in Woodrow, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

Why choose a hog roast in Woodrow?

The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
