Wedding hog roast in Soberton, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Soberton. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for marquee receptions and evening receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Soberton frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Where the roaster can go in Soberton
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Permission for outside catering
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Soberton, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.

Common questions in Soberton
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Soberton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will check it with you before booking.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
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.
Catered or do it yourself?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give final numbers in good time
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
