Wedding hog roast near Wootton
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. For weddings in a marquee and small, informal weddings, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers and more.
Weddings in a place like Wootton frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In Wootton, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Common questions in Wootton
Can you cater after a service at St. Edmund's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A way in for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Wootton is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
