How our wedding hog roast works in Horton-cum-Studley
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. We serve halloumi skewers, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for weddings in a family garden and intimate weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Horton-cum-Studley frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

For event organisers in Horton-cum-Studley
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand.

Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
