Bridgemary: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at St Matthew's?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?
We cover Hampshire and the rest of London and the South East. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What is hog roast hire?
We bring the roaster, roast the hog on site for hours, then our chef carves it and our staff serve, in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Any venue rules sorted in advance
- A sheltered place for people to eat if it rains
- Parking near the spot
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:

- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it’s needed

- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.

The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evenings in Bridgemary stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day we arrive hours before serving and start the roast under cover.
- We carve and serve when you are ready to eat.
- We clear the serving area and pack away.
How to prepare
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
