Slow-roasted pork in Aldershot
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
About our wedding hog roast in Aldershot
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. Popular choices include carved roast pork, salads and crackling, and typical bookings are for intimate weddings and weddings in a family garden.
Couples in Aldershot often keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For a summer wedding in Aldershot, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Where the roaster can go in Aldershot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before

- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Aldershot
Could you cook in Princes Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.

For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
