About our wedding hog roast in Carterton
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts with sides, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Carterton frequently keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. A hog roast fits that style. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Carterton questions
We are gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: 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.
How far is Carterton from London?
About 67 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can you roast in the rain?
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 much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you come to Carterton?
Yes, Carterton is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.

We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
