Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting for evening service
- Permission for outside catering
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Kingston Lisle, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Common questions in Kingston Lisle
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Baptist?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Plates or china
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
