Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
About our wedding hog roast in Hempton
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. We serve spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork, and we’re frequently booked for intimate weddings and late-night wedding food.
Near Hempton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- No surprises: everything in writing
See our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
What affects the price in Hempton
The price comes down to:
- How many people are eating
- Access to the cooking area
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

Golden-hour photos in Hempton at midsummer come around 9:30pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 9:00pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Questions from Hempton
What’s the nearest station to Hempton?
The closest is Kings Sutton station, roughly 4 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at Saint John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we will check.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
