What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in Hornton, 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.

After a ceremony at a church like Church of St John the Baptist, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting. Historic houses near Hornton include Upton House (1.6 miles west) and Farnborough Hall (3.4 miles north-east). Historic houses and estates frequently have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that is your venue.
