Wedding hog roast in Buckland, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Buckland. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it’s weddings in a family garden and evening receptions, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Buckland frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

FAQs for Buckland
Is Buckland too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, sunset in Buckland is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send 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.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Organising for someone else?
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
