Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
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.

Common questions in Allbrook
Which station is closest to Allbrook?
Chandlers Ford station, about 1.3 miles west of the centre.
How far is Allbrook from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What comes off the roaster

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.

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 big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
