How our wedding hog roast works in Northington
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, salads and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater home weddings and rustic barn receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Northington frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
For event organisers in Northington
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Northington
Is Northington 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.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we will liaise with them.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
