Wedding hog roast in Barford, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. We are often asked to cater evening food after the first dance and garden weddings at home, with carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Near Barford, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Crockery choices
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

A hog roast compared with other options
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Fresh carving at the serving station
Catered or do it 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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
