Wedding hog roast for Bramshaw
How our wedding hog roast works in Bramshaw
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Bramshaw: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. Typical bookings include anniversary vow renewals and barn and farm weddings, with crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Bramshaw, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, sunset in Bramshaw is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Bramshaw
Is Bramshaw too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: 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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
