Slow-roasted pork in Marsh Green

About our wedding hog roast in Marsh Green

Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is barn and farm weddings and evening food after the first dance, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and salads.

A wedding in a small place like Marsh Green frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

Step by step

Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Marsh Green, it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

  1. You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
  2. You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
  3. Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
  4. The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
  5. Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.

Preparing for the day

  • Name a contact for the day
  • Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
  • Gather dietary requirements early

Looking after everyone

Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:

  • Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
  • Give your coordinator the final menu
  • Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
  • Put a dietary question on the invitation

If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.

China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

The menu, dish by dish

Roast pork

The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Rotisserie chicken

Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates.

Marsh Green questions

Do you come out to small places like Marsh Green?

Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Can you cater after a service at St. Mary's Church?

Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.

Is crockery included?

Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

What if it rains?

Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.

When do you start roasting?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.

Is there a non-pork option?

The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.

Do you clear up?

Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.

How do we prepare?

The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding

The biggest factors are:

  • Distance from us
  • Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
  • Plates or china
  • Site access

A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Details that help

Here’s what we’ll ask:

  • The date and time of the event
  • Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
  • Rough numbers
  • Rules from the venue or landowner

We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.

A hog roast compared with other options

If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Carved by our chef in front of your guests
  • Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
  • Crackling for everyone who wants it
  • Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Read our pricing and the cost guide.

Before you choose a spot

Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:

  • Permission for outside catering
  • Lighting for evening service
  • A short walk from the serving station to the guests

Marsh Green is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.

If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
