About our wedding hog roast in Bitterne Park
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. For garden weddings at home and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In Bitterne Park, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
