How our wedding hog roast works in Martin
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and weddings in a marquee, serving new potatoes, salads and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Martin often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Why choose a hog roast in Martin?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Weekday and off-season dates can be easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.

The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. At midsummer, sunset in Martin is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Let us know about tight access

Planning help
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Why choose wedding hog roast in Martin?
It feels generous and relaxed, which suits informal weddings.
However big or small the event in Martin, a slow roast goes a long way. We’re often asked to cater:
- The day after the wedding
- Intimate weddings
- Vow renewals and blessings
- Home weddings
Marrying at Church of All Saints? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.

What affects the price in Martin
We work out each quote from:
- How many people are eating
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Where the event is
- Anything the venue has asked for
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Tell us your date and we will check it: use our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Martin: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Martin?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
When do you start roasting?
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.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
