Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark

Wedding hog roast in Martyr's Green, carved to order
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Whether it is late-night wedding food and wedding breakfasts with sides, we can cook salads, crackling and new potatoes.
Near Martyr's Green, 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 you are not left handing out rolls.
How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evening food at a Martyr's Green wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
