Wedding hog roast for Temple
Wedding hog roast in Temple, slow-roasted on site
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Whether it is evening food after the first dance and second-day get-togethers, we can cook crackling, salads and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
For a wedding in Temple, the venue’s rules decide where a hog roast can go. Ask about a courtyard or garden, and we’ll agree the details with them. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels special. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Planned to your running order

Questions from Temple
Could you cook in Garden Bridge?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Temple Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Do you come to Temple?
Yes, Temple is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
