How our wedding hog roast works in Woolbeding
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. Whether it is second-day get-togethers and weddings in a marquee, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, salads and crackling for your guests.
Near Woolbeding, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Woolbeding
Is Woolbeding too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Woolbeding from London?
About 45 miles from central London.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
Where the roaster can go in Woolbeding
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the roaster
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Spit-roast lamb
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- New potatoes
- Rotisserie chicken
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. For a summer wedding in Woolbeding, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Let us know about tight access

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
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.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
