About our wedding hog roast in Gun Hill
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Gun Hill. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Whether it’s farm weddings and late-night wedding food, we’ll put together a menu of new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
Near Gun Hill, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.

Organising for someone else?
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Gun Hill, midsummer sunset is about 9:15pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
What affects the price in Gun Hill

- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
- Menu choices and extras
- Access to the cooking area
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help

- The address or postcode
- Roughly how many people
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies

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.
