How our wedding hog roast works in Horton
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. Popular choices include salads, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for blessings and renewals and intimate weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Horton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Why choose wedding hog roast in Horton?
Hot food late in the evening is always welcome, especially after dancing.
Hosts in Horton book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. For example:
- The day after the wedding
- Rustic barn receptions
- Weddings in a family garden
- Intimate weddings
If you are marrying at a church near Horton, such as Church of St Michael, and holding the reception nearby, the hog roast can be cooking while you say your vows.

Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Horton wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a wedding barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Horton hosts choose us
- Timed around your day
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Travel to Horton
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What to tell us
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

- A picture of the cooking area

A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
