Wedding hog roast in Martin Mill, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is weddings in a family garden and wedding breakfasts with sides, we’ll put together a menu of carved roast pork, crackling and salads and more.
Near Martin Mill, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Is Martin Mill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Martin Mill?
Martin Mill station, in Martin Mill itself.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
