Questions from Clanfield
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Clanfield close to London?
Roughly 55 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you cater in Clanfield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Clanfield and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
What space does the roaster need?
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 check it with you before booking.
Wedding hog roast near Clanfield
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include anniversary vow renewals and garden weddings at home, serving salads, rotisserie chicken and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Clanfield frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
The price comes down to:
- How long the roast and service take
- Numbers
- Access to the cooking area
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- Rough numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
- A photo of the cooking area
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Send us your details through our quote form.
Step by step

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
