About our wedding hog roast in Brenzett
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Whether it’s evening food after the first dance and marquee receptions, we can cook new potatoes, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Brenzett, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

About the food

For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Brenzett questions
Is Brenzett close to London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St Eanswith's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Do you come to Brenzett?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
Popular choices
- New potatoes
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Hog roast rolls
- Salads
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Winter weddings in Brenzett are dark by about 3:50pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- 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 set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
Getting a price
It’s easy to get a price: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
