Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. Typical bookings include the main wedding meal and marquee receptions, serving carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Church Enstone frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in Church Enstone, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Common questions in Church Enstone
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Kenelm: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Church Enstone?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We’ll bring the rest.
Do we need our own staff?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
