Wedding hog roast in Botolph Claydon
Step by step
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. Evening food at a Botolph Claydon wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

About our wedding hog roast in Botolph Claydon
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. For evening food after the first dance and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork and more.
A wedding in a small place like Botolph Claydon often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Time on site
- Plates or china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

- A photo of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Botolph Claydon: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Botolph Claydon?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
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.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
