Wedding hog roast near Barton
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We serve carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater marquee weddings and intimate weddings.
In Barton, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.

Barton questions
Can you roast near the sea around Barton?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at St Paul's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Crockery choices
- Numbers
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
