Wedding hog roast for Tourner Bury
How our wedding hog roast works in Tourner Bury
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue. For the day after the wedding and weddings in a marquee, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes and more.
Rural weddings around Tourner Bury have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- Numbers
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
