How our wedding hog roast works in Bishop's Green
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Whether it’s second-day get-togethers and weddings in a family garden, we will put together a menu of new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Bishop's Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The number of people
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding in Bishop's Green. At a December wedding in Bishop's Green, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
Evening food normally goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Lighting for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Bishop's Green questions
Could you cook in New Greenham Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
