Wedding hog roast near Little Barrington

Near Little Barrington, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot.

FAQs for Little Barrington
Is Little Barrington too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer wedding in Little Barrington, the sun sets at about 9:30pm 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 is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.

- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
