Wedding hog roast in Knights Enham, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Knights Enham suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Whether it is anniversary vow renewals and marquee weddings, we can cook salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Knights Enham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
A hog roast compared with other options

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Winter weddings in Knights Enham are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
