Slow-roasted pork in Dunton
Wedding hog roast in Dunton, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. For blessings and renewals and small, informal weddings, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, new potatoes and crackling and more.
Rural weddings around Dunton have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

- The number of people
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- How long the roast and service take
Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The venue or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Busy weekends book up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
What happens on the day
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Dunton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
