How our wedding hog roast works in Bishopstone
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. We’re often asked to cater small, informal weddings and weddings in a family garden, serving rotisserie chicken, salads and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Bishopstone often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Fresh carving at the serving station

What’s the nearest station to Bishopstone?
Aylesbury station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How long does the roast need?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At a December wedding in Bishopstone, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
