How our wedding hog roast works in Apuldram
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. For marquee weddings and vow renewals and blessings, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, salads and new potatoes and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Apuldram, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.

- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.

Planning the cooking spot

Should I cook it myself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Prices and what affects them
There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Details that help
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and time of the event
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.

Common questions in Apuldram
Can you cater after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Apuldram?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
