Wedding hog roast in Priestwood, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Priestwood suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For wedding breakfasts with sides and garden weddings at home, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and salads for your guests.
Near Priestwood, weddings are often 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. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
How it works
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding. Evening food at a Priestwood wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
