Wedding hog roast in Lower Horncroft
How our wedding hog roast works in Lower Horncroft
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. Whether it’s weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, we can cook halloumi skewers, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
Rural weddings around Lower Horncroft have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Golden-hour photos in Lower Horncroft at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Crockery choices
- Site access
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- A picture of the cooking area
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- An itemised quote
- Carved to order by a chef
- All the equipment comes with us
Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
