Hog Roast & Spit Roast Catering

Real fire.
Proper crackling.
No shortcuts.

Cornish pork, smoked over real charcoal in our Redruth kitchen for up to 16 hours until the skin blisters and cracks. Not gas. Not a catering van oven. Then finished over charcoal and carved in front of your guests. They get the full theatre of it.

We bring everything: the rig, the charcoal, the gazebo, the carving station. Setup to pack-down is all ours. All we need from you is a 3m × 6m flat outdoor space.

Why It Tastes Like That

The long cook happens the night before

Every joint we bring you has already spent up to 16 hours over charcoal smoke in our own kitchen before it ever reaches your venue. That is the part that does the work. What happens on the spit in front of your guests is the finish, the crackling and the carving, and it is the best bit to watch.

Sixteen hours of smoke

A few hours on a spit in a field cooks a joint through. It does not put smoke into it. A full night over charcoal gets down past the bark and into the meat, which is the difference you taste and the reason people come back for thirds.

Cooked under control, not under a gazebo

It is cooked in a 5-star rated kitchen, probed and logged, rather than in whatever the weather is doing on the day. Wind, rain and a gas bottle running low have no say in how your pork turns out.

Ready when you are

Speeches overrun. Photographs take longer than anyone plans for. Because the long cook is already done, your meal moving an hour costs you nothing, and nobody is standing over a joint hoping it is ready by six.

You still get the theatre

The spit still turns, the crackling still cracks, and your guests still watch it carved to order in front of them. You just get it without the risk that comes with cooking raw pork on a field for the first time at your own wedding.

"Is it expensive?"

From £9.15pp delivered. Full roast team, equipment, carving service. Scales to weddings and big events without a wedding surcharge.

"Will they come to our venue?"

Cornwall as standard. Devon bookings welcome, travel is free on orders over £1,500, or over £500 for Plymouth and Tavistock, and £1 per mile round-trip from Redruth below that, always confirmed in the quote before you commit.

"We don't have a kitchen."

Completely self-contained, oven, charcoal, gazebo, carving station, waste. All we need is a 3m × 6m flat outdoor space.

"Only 30 people coming."

On-site minimum is 50. Under 50? Delivered hog roast is available from 20 guests, or our buffet range starts from 20 guests too.

01 · The reveal

Cornish pork brought to the carving station, skin blistered into crackling, the centrepiece of the room before a plate moves.

02 · The carve

Our pitmaster carves to order, pulled, sliced, hand-portioned. Crackling on the side, never on the bun.

03 · The hand-off

Apple sauce, sage & onion stuffing, soft bakery rolls. Guests queue once, leave with a proper plate.

The Carving Ceremony

What do guests see at
a hog roast?
Cornish pork, carved live.

Nothing else looks like a hog roast at full carving. Cornish pork, smoked for hours, crackling glassy and amber, lifted onto the carving board the moment guests sit down. That is the moment, and it is the reason couples and corporate hosts keep coming back to hog roast over every other option we offer.

We carve to order. Hand-pulled portions, generous rolls, crackling on the side. The board is the show; the queue is short; the plates are full.

We used Salt Wind Catering for a party of 50. We chose to have the hog roast and vegetarian paella plus salads. For dessert we had the chocolate brownies with strawberries and cream. The communication before the event was excellent and on the day the service was perfect. All the food was delicious. Our guests were very impressed and commented on how much they enjoyed their meals. Should we have another party I will know where to come! Many thanks to Mark and his team.
