Wedding hog roast in Wootton, carved to order
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for weddings in a marquee and blessings and renewals.
Near Wootton, weddings are often 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. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- Whether you want china
- Site access
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The date and time of year
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Where the event is
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: fill in our quote form.
Working with your venue
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Evening food at a Wootton wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are 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.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A serving area close to where guests eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Wootton questions

What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
What happens in bad weather?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
