Wedding hog roast in Atherington
Wedding hog roast in Atherington, carved to order

Rural weddings around Atherington 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 bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it is carved the same way, frequently with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Working with your venue

What else we do in Atherington
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Atherington
We’re gathering after a service at Bailiffscourt Chapel: can you cater?
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. Send us the address.
How far is Atherington from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we don’t need mains power to cook. In Atherington, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
