Wedding hog roast in Arreton, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Arreton suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. For small, informal weddings and evening food after the first dance, we can cook new potatoes, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers and more.
Near Arreton, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Arreton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Common questions in Arreton
We are gathering after a service at St. George's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Arreton?
Sandown station, about 3.4 miles east of the centre.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What else we do in Arreton
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Arreton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
