Slow-roasted pork in Buriton
How our wedding hog roast works in Buriton
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. We serve new potatoes, carved roast pork and rotisserie chicken, and we are often booked for relaxed, low-key weddings and blessings and renewals.
There is something special about a country wedding near Buriton, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Timings are planned around your wedding, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
For event organisers in Buriton
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What affects the price in Buriton
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How many people are eating
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- The date and time of the event
- The address or postcode
- Allergies we should know about
- What the outdoor space is like
Numbers not final yet? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Give final numbers in good time
We will liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.

Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We will sort the details with them.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
