How our wedding hog roast works in Hardwick
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Hardwick. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We serve salads, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and typical bookings are for relaxed, low-key weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides.
Rural weddings around Hardwick 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. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- An itemised quote
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What affects the price in Hardwick

- Access to the cooking area

- Permission for outside catering
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. At a December wedding in Hardwick, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
FAQs for Hardwick
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Hardwick?
The closest is Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
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 a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
