Wedding hog roast for Somerton
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How our wedding hog roast works in Somerton
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. On the menu are crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are regularly asked to cater the day after the wedding and evening receptions.
Near Somerton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

FAQs for Somerton
What’s the nearest station to Somerton?
Heyford station, about 2.7 miles south of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We will sort the details with them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
For event organisers in Somerton
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Somerton, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:30pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
