About our wedding hog roast in Penn
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Penn. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Whether it’s marquee weddings and barn and farm weddings, we can cook new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and salads and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Penn, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Sides to make it a full meal

Common questions in Penn
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Margaret: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Penn?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will sort the details with them.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
