Wedding hog roast near Cadnam
For a relaxed wedding in Cadnam, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and salads, and we are often booked for the day after the wedding and the main wedding meal.
Rural weddings around Cadnam have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. For a summer wedding in Cadnam, 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. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day

Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Power for lights in the evening

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Cadnam questions
Do you come out to small places like Cadnam?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cover Cadnam?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Cadnam and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
