Wedding hog roast in Woodside, carved to order
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include blessings and renewals and post-wedding gatherings, with salads, carved roast pork and crackling.
Near Woodside, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- Permission for outside catering
- Lighting for evening service
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing usually contains gluten.

Questions from Woodside
Is Woodside close to London?
Roughly 63 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will guests be full?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you come to Woodside?
Yes, Woodside is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in Woodside, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
