How our wedding hog roast works in Warden
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for garden weddings at home and marquee receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Warden frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You’ll know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves a lot of people fast. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter weddings in Warden are dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Where the roaster can go in Warden

- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
