Wedding hog roast for Murston
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Wedding hog roast in Murston, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. On the menu are halloumi skewers, salads and carved roast pork, and we’re frequently booked for home weddings and intimate weddings.
For a smaller place like Murston, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Occasions we serve in Murston
No kitchen is needed at the venue, ideal for marquee and field weddings.
People around Murston book us for everything from small get-togethers to big outdoor events. Popular choices:

Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A way in for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
On the menu in Murston

Should I cook it myself?
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.

What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Organising for someone else?
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Winter weddings in Murston are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.

Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
