Wedding hog roast near Woolpack Corner
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. We serve crackling, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we’re frequently booked for weddings in a family garden and small, informal weddings.
Near Woolpack Corner, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Time on site
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- What the outdoor space is like
- An estimate of numbers
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Step by step
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For a summer wedding in Woolpack Corner, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:50pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
