Wedding hog roast near Brading
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and home weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Brading often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. 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, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. At a December wedding in Brading, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests

Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Lighting for evening service
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Brading is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Questions from Brading
Can you roast near the sea around Brading?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
