Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Foxendown
Is Foxendown too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you come to Foxendown?
Yes, Foxendown is in our area. Send us the address and we’ll check the date.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How our wedding hog roast works in Foxendown
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Whether it’s weddings in a family garden and evening food after the first dance, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb and more.
Rural weddings around Foxendown 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.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Foxendown hosts choose us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A way in for the roaster
- Power for lights in the evening
- Permission for outside catering
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

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’re ready. In Foxendown, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

- 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.
