Wedding hog roast near Chineham
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. For marquee receptions and home weddings, we can cook new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers for your guests.
In Chineham, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, sunset in Chineham is about 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Why choose a hog roast in Chineham?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
