Wedding hog roast in Wotton, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Wotton. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. We are frequently asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home, with rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Wotton often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
