Wedding hog roast for Blendon
Wedding hog roast in Blendon, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Blendon. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are crackling, halloumi skewers and salads, and we are often booked for marquee weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
In Blendon, venues set rules on outside caterers and gas cooking. A courtyard, garden or yard is ideal, and we’ll agree the details with them. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Questions from Blendon
Can you do a hog roast in Danson Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What if our house in Blendon has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard generally works. Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll sort the details with them.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Site access
- The journey to the venue
- The date and time of year
The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
- A photo of the cooking area
- Your date and serving time
When you are weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. To get yours, use our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
See our prices page or the cost guide.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. At a December wedding in Blendon, it is 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 9:20pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Let us know about tight access

Where the roaster can go in Blendon
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
As a London location, Blendon is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
