About our wedding hog roast in Bagnum
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not available. Typical bookings include home weddings and evening receptions, with salads, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
Near Bagnum, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue does its own catering, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. Some venues charge a fee. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Bagnum, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:05pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare

A closer look at the menu
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

FAQs for Bagnum
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Bagnum too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you come to Bagnum?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Bagnum and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
