Wedding hog roast near Yaverland
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it’s evening receptions and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Yaverland often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At a December wedding in Yaverland, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it’s 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.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.

FAQs for Yaverland
Can you cater after a service at St John the Baptist Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Yaverland?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
