What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children normally like it too.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
How our wedding hog roast works in Three Oaks
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. For weddings in a family garden and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
Near Three Oaks, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At a December wedding in Three Oaks, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive

Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Here’s what affects the price:
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
- Travel to Three Oaks
- How long the roast and service take
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Fill in our quote form.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Three Oaks questions
Is Three Oaks too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at St Laurence's Church?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can we add a second roast?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Why choose a hog roast in Three Oaks?
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
