Wedding hog roast near Turnfurlong
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Turnfurlong. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. On the menu are halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we are frequently booked for weddings in a family garden and marquee weddings.
In Turnfurlong, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Evening food at a Turnfurlong wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Turnfurlong: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Holy Trinity?
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’ll gather.

Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will work with them on the details.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
