About wedding hog roast in Southampton

Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. Typical bookings include weddings in a marquee and farm weddings, serving carved roast pork, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

Near you in Southampton

We set up the roaster for events around Saint Mary's, St Mary's Independent School and Rockstone Place Park and the streets around them. Also close by are Bevois Town Primary School (under half a mile west), The Hobbit pub (within half a mile west) and St Anne's Catholic School (0.6 miles south-west). Southampton has its own railway station: St Denys station, handy for guests travelling by train. Well-known places in the area include Marlands Shopping Centre (1 mile south-west) and R J Mitchell Museum (0.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Netley Common.

Weddings across Southampton: venues and settings

With 4 villages and hamlets as well as Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park, Southampton has plenty of countryside wedding settings. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue. Around 40 places in Southampton are close to the coast, so we frequently plan a sheltered spot for the roaster.

Southampton: Netley Common nearby makes a lovely backdrop for photos. Within reach of Southampton are historic houses such as Southampton Tudor House and Garden (1.4 miles south) and Medieval Merchant's House (1.5 miles south). Historic houses and estates frequently have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that’s your venue. In Southampton, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

For planners, venues and organisers

If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.

Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
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
Collect dietary needs with RSVPs

Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.

Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

Planning the cooking spot

Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:

A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Approval from the venue or marquee supplier

Should I cook it myself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

The menu, dish by dish

Rotisserie chicken

Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

Roast pork

Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
