Wedding hog roast for Amport
About our wedding hog roast in Amport
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We’re often asked to cater late-night wedding food and the main wedding meal, serving carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Amport have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter weddings in Amport are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food 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.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Amport
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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. Send us the address.
Is Amport close to London?
About 67 miles from central London.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do you come to Amport?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What affects the price in Amport
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
- Access to the cooking area
Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it helps to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time

Space, access and the venue
