Wedding hog roast for Bramshott Chase
DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
About our wedding hog roast in Bramshott Chase
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We serve spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for evening receptions and intimate weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Bramshott Chase 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 staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Lighting for evening service
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you work around our timings?

Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
