About our wedding hog roast in Faberstown
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Faberstown. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. On the menu are carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and weddings in a marquee.
Rural weddings around Faberstown have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to other evening food, carving serves a lot of people fast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Our staff serve and clear
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Winter weddings in Faberstown are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- 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.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Faberstown questions
Do you come out to small places like Faberstown?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood: 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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
