How our wedding hog roast works in Brightwalton
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat isn’t available. Whether it is garden weddings at home and evening receptions, we can cook new potatoes, salads and carved roast pork for your guests.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Brightwalton, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. For a summer wedding in Brightwalton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book our hog roast in Brightwalton
- A choice of salads and potatoes

- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Brightwalton
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Brightwalton from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How far ahead should we book?

Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?

Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?

Prices and what affects them
Things that change the price:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Distance from us
- How many people are eating
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
