The Roasting Pig provided catering at our slightly alternative wedding party last weekend. We had a garden party in my parents' garden with 59 adults and 24 children and it was very much a family affair. The staff were incredible and so lovely. Utterly professional, and the food was fantastic! We can't rate them highly enough and are so so appreciative of their attendance. Our guests were all commenting on how delicious it was and how great the staff were. Allergens were also knowledgeably dealt with and we would not hesitate to call the team again for further events and to recommend to others! Thank you very much to Steve and the team ❤️Posted on Google![]()

We hired The Roasting Pig for our joint 18th and 50th birthday marquee party, and they were excellent from start to finish. We chose a hog roast and pizzas, and the food was absolutely superb. The team was professional, with a smart, efficient setup that kept everything running smoothly throughout the event. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Roasting Pig to anyone looking for fantastic food and outstanding service.Posted on Google![]()

ired The Roasting Pig for our 'Party in the Field' wedding celebration weekend, and they were fantastic. From the very first enquiry, communication was excellent and made the planning process completely stress-free. On the day, the team were professional, friendly, and served up a brilliant hog roast that went down a treat with all our guests—including our vegetarian and vegan friends, who were well looked after. The setup was seamless, and everything was handled efficiently. A huge thank you for helping make our day so special and memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and delicious catering service. Chris and CarolinePosted on Google![]()

When my Fiancée suggested I call a Hog Roast Company and ask them to provide a Pizza Service for our wedding I was initially concerned about the lack of hog roast that would be in attendance. It turns out I didn't need to worry - The Pizzas were excellent and all of the guests were very impressed with the quality of service and food provided. Whilst investigating catering options for our wedding in May 2026, I gave Steve at Roasting Pig a call and he was happy to have a really good chat about the options and we settled on the Pizza Package for our event. As we spoke he made a number of recommendations to actually save money which inspired confidence in him as a supplier. The set up was excellent and very efficient - Steve advised nearer to the event that the Pizzas would be provided by Damien and his Son and they arrived in good time with 2 x Ooni pizza ovens, a gazebo, all of the plates and cutlery required, a lot of pizza ingredients and a great selection of sides etc. They were able to provide for a couple of Gluten-free wedding guests as well as a dairy-free attendee which was excellent. On one of the hottest Bank Holiday weekends on record Damien and his son worked tirelessly and delivered a great service with no headaches or concerns. They provided the last few pizzas in boxes to be left on site for later enjoyment and packed away with out any problems. It's worth noting that for our package the guests need to take their own empties to a bin, but we understood that from the word go and had made provision - there were no cleaning up issues at all. Thank you Steve and your team - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone and would definitely book you again! David & Teegan.Posted on Google![]()

We booked a hog roast with canapes and puddings for a recent wedding in Woodhouse Eaves. The food is absolutely fantastic. The communication from Steve was excellent throughout, which included a tasting session for the canapes and puddings. They also suggested some local venues that allowed self catering. On the Day we had Dylan and Anne in attendance, both of whom were fantastic. They set up with minimal fuss and we're professional and adpatable while still matching the family friendly relaxed vibe of our wedding. Even going above and beyond to distribute the canapes. The pricing is excellent and I wouldn't hesitate to use your services again as and when required. Thank you very much.Posted on Google![]()

Is a hog roast good for a wedding?
Yes, hog roasts are a brilliant choice for weddings. They create a relaxed, sociable atmosphere and offer a memorable focal point for your reception. Plus, they’re a cost-effective way to feed large groups with hearty, high-quality food.
What does a hog roast consist of?
A classic hog roast includes a whole pig slow-roasted until the meat is tender and the crackling is perfectly crisp. It’s served with stuffing, apple sauce, bread rolls, and your choice of sides and salads.
What to serve with a hog roast at a wedding?
We recommend dishes like garlic new potatoes, couscous, Mediterranean salads, and fresh baked breads. Our menus are flexible and can be tailored to your tastes.
What does hog roast taste like?
Hog roast is rich, savoury, and succulent. The long cooking process enhances the pork’s natural flavour, delivering juicy meat and golden, crunchy crackling.
Is hog meat fatty?
It contains some natural fat, which keeps the meat moist during roasting. Most of the fat renders off during cooking, leaving behind tender, flavourful meat with a good balance of lean and juicy cuts.
Can you provide catering for both the wedding breakfast and evening reception?
Yes – we can provide food for both the wedding breakfast and your evening reception, with flexible service and menu options for each part of the day.
How long does the hog roast take to cook?
It takes around 6 to 8 hours to roast a whole hog to perfection. We always arrive well in advance to ensure it’s ready to serve when needed.
What equipment do you need at the venue?
We’re fully self-sufficient – we bring all our own roasting equipment, serving stations, and utensils. All we need is suitable space and, in some cases, access to a power source.
