Wedding hog roast in Temple Hill
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

We are often asked to cater intimate weddings and blessings and renewals, serving carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.

How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter weddings in Temple Hill are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.

Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Power for lights in the evening
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
