I booked The Roasting Pig for a Charity Barn Dance that we held to support a small school in The Gambia. Steve was very helpful, bearing with us as we had to change the date several times. The guys who came for the event were very professional, they set everything up effectively and efficiently and the food was lovely. I received lots of positive comments about the Hog Roast, they didn’t scrimp on the portion size and there was still pork left over at the end! I can without hesitation recommend The Roasting Pig and we will book them again in the future.

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.
