Wedding hog roast in Exton, carved to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Exton suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night wedding food and the main wedding meal.
Rural weddings around Exton have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
FAQs for Exton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Exton?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you cater in Exton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Exton and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, it helps to include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
