Wedding hog roast in Monxton
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Wedding hog roast in Monxton, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. We serve rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and new potatoes, and we’re frequently booked for home weddings and barn and farm weddings.
Rural weddings around Monxton have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

- Whether you want china

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.

It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Evening food at a Monxton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.

Before we arrive
