Wedding hog roast in Bakers Arms, carved to order

We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We serve salads, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for weddings in a family garden and second-day get-togethers.

For a wedding in Bakers Arms, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?

Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.

Why book with us

  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
  • Served at the time you choose
  • Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
  • No surprises: everything in writing

What comes off the roaster

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.

Rolls and gluten-free rolls

A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.

For planners, venues and organisers

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.

Choosing a hog roast caterer

Allergies and dietary needs

Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:

  • Give your coordinator the final menu
  • Give final numbers in good time
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
  • Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed

Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.

Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Step by step

People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At midsummer, sunset in Bakers Arms is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

  1. Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
  2. We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
  3. We fit timings around your running order.
  4. We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
  5. We serve, tidy up and slip away.

Preparing for the day

  • Give us a contact number for the day
  • Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
  • Let us know about tight access

Catered or do it yourself?

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

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.

Prices and what affects them

The price comes down to:

  • Menu choices and extras
  • The date and time of year
  • How easy it is to reach the spot
  • How long the roast and service take

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 are paying for.

Details that help

To check the date and the space, tell us:

  • Allergies we should know about
  • Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
  • Rough numbers
  • The address or postcode
