Wedding hog roast in Anmore, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and garden weddings at home, serving crackling, salads and rotisserie chicken.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Anmore, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Anmore: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Anmore?
Bedhampton station, about 4 miles south-east of the centre.
Is Anmore too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give final numbers in good time
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
