Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. At a December wedding in Hook Norton, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:30pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Hook Norton: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter?
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.
Is Hook Norton close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:

- Space well clear of tents and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
