How our wedding hog roast works in Houghton Green
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. We’re frequently asked to cater marquee weddings and anniversary vow renewals, serving crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Houghton Green, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

What else we do in Houghton Green
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
What affects the price in Houghton Green
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether you want china
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- The venue or postcode
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or TN31 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Houghton Green questions
Can you roast near the sea around Houghton Green?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Do you come out to small places like Houghton Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Golden-hour photos in Houghton Green at midsummer come around 9:15pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is 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.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
