Wedding hog roast in Huntercombe, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Huntercombe. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve salads, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb, and we’re regularly asked to cater late-night wedding food and vow renewals and blessings.
For a smaller place like Huntercombe, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

About the food

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You will not have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Catered or do it yourself?
