About our wedding hog roast in Chilbolton
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Whether it’s marquee weddings and late-night wedding food, we can cook spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken and more.
Near Chilbolton, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.

Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Golden-hour photos in Chilbolton at midsummer come around 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.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
FAQs for Chilbolton
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary the Less?
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 will gather.
Is Chilbolton too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give your coordinator the final menu
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
