Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.

- A serving area close to where guests eat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book our hog roast in Ashendon
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A clear quote with everything listed
- We bring everything to cook and serve
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In Ashendon, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
