About our wedding hog roast in Blendworth
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re frequently asked to cater the day after the wedding and wedding breakfasts, with rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers.
There is something special about a country wedding near Blendworth, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Blendworth questions

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
How soon do you get booked up?

Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
Can you cater in Blendworth?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Blendworth and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

Evening food at a Blendworth wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Step-free access for our equipment
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others have the hog roast as the main event. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
