A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Bishopstone questions
Could you cook in Castle Hill?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Bishopstone are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
