Wedding hog roast near Bembridge
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Bembridge. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. For evening food after the first dance and small, informal weddings, we will put together a menu of crackling, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
In Bembridge, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Golden-hour photos in Bembridge at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
What affects the price in Bembridge
The price comes down to:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Numbers
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How long the roast and service take
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- The address or postcode

FAQs for Bembridge
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you cater after a service at Bembridge Methodist Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
