How our wedding hog roast works in Marehill
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and blessings and renewals.
Near Marehill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
For event organisers in Marehill
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Marehill, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Name a contact for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
