Wedding hog roast in Upper Clatford, slow-roasted on site
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We are often asked to cater intimate weddings and anniversary vow renewals, serving new potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers.
Near Upper Clatford, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Crockery choices
- The journey to the venue
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary requirements
- Rules from the venue or landowner
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer wedding in Upper Clatford, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
