A hog roast near Beaulieu
How it works
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. Winter weddings in Beaulieu are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Wedding hog roast in Beaulieu, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. We are often asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and marquee receptions, with salads, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
A wedding in a small place like Beaulieu often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Light near the carving station after dark
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
What we serve
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- New potatoes
Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Questions from Beaulieu
Can you roast near the sea around Beaulieu?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Beaulieu too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
