How our wedding hog roast works in Irons Bottom
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Irons Bottom suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Typical bookings include weddings in a family garden and marquee receptions, with carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.

What the cooking area needs
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
