Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What happens on the day
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 Meadle, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Meadle
Can you cater after a service at Owlswick Chapel?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Meadle 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.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
