About our wedding hog roast in Kimbridge
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include marquee receptions and weddings in a family garden, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Kimbridge often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. Evening food at a Kimbridge wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
What a hog roast costs
Things that change the price:
- Access to the cooking area

- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Use our quote form.

Which station is closest to Kimbridge?

We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
