A hog roast near Epwell
Wedding hog roast near Epwell
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Whether it’s vow renewals and blessings and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Near Epwell, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Epwell
Do you come out to small places like Epwell?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Anne: 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.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What about coeliacs?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can we add a second roast?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.

What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

The process
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer wedding in Epwell, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
