Wedding hog roast in Bentley, carved to order
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Typical bookings include small, informal weddings and evening receptions, with salads, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
Rural weddings around Bentley have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. You will know what’s included before booking: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
The process
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At midsummer, sunset in Bentley is about 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 7:05pm.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Space, access and the venue
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A way in for the roaster
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Planners, venues and businesses
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Common questions in Bentley
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What’s the nearest station to Bentley?
Bentley (Hampshire) station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Will guests be full?
We’ll plan quantities from your numbers, and we will confirm it in writing.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
