Wedding hog roast in Overton, carved to order
For a relaxed wedding in Overton, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. We’re often asked to cater anniversary vow renewals and small, informal weddings, with salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
Weddings in a place like Overton frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The process
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Winter weddings in Overton are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Overton station, about 0.8 miles north of the centre.
How far is Overton from London?
Roughly 53 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
