Wedding hog roast in Brimpton Common, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. On the menu are crackling, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for evening receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides.
Near Brimpton Common, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Catered or do it yourself?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Brimpton Common wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often 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.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.

Midgham station, about 2.2 miles north of the centre.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you cover Brimpton Common?

Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
