Wedding hog roast in Poundon
Wedding hog roast near Poundon
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee and blessings and renewals, with new potatoes, carved roast pork and crackling.
Near Poundon, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: use our quote form.

- How dietary needs are handled
- The space, cover and access they need
- A clear list of what’s included
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Evening food typically goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Poundon, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
