Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and wedding breakfasts.
Rural weddings around Atherfield Green have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
Questions from Atherfield Green
Is Atherfield Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
What comes with the hog roast?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What we serve, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Lighting for evening service
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
Atherfield Green is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Atherfield Green
- Rotisserie chicken
- New potatoes
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Crackling
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
