Wedding hog roast in Afton, carved to order
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and weddings in a family garden, serving carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Afton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.

What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A way in for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
Afton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Travel to Afton
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Site access
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
To get the best quote, tell us:
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Your date and serving time
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: use our quote form.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, carving serves a lot of people fast. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in Afton
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
Read our prices page or the cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Questions from Afton
We are gathering after a service at St. Agnes' Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Afton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater in Afton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Afton and the rest of the Isle of Wight included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Afton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
