How our wedding hog roast works in Ore
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t available. For wedding breakfasts with sides and weddings in a marquee, we can cook salads, carved roast pork and crackling.
In Ore, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Winter weddings in Ore are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Perfect for your wedding in Ore
It works for the main meal and the evening, which keeps things simple.
Our roaster has been booked for a wide mix of occasions near Ore, including:
- Blessings and renewals
- Marquee receptions
- Garden weddings at home
- Wedding breakfasts
After a ceremony at a church like Christ Church, many couples move to a marquee or hall nearby, where the hog roast is waiting.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- Whether VAT is included
- The deposit, balance and cancellation terms
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Power for lights in the evening
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Ore questions
Can you roast near the sea around Ore?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to Ore?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
