For planners, venues and organisers
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Wedding hog roast in Clanville, slow-roasted on site
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. For vow renewals and blessings and second-day get-togethers, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and crackling for your guests.
A wedding in a small place like Clanville 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. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- All the equipment comes with us
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to

Questions from Clanville
Is Clanville too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Clanville?
Andover station, about 3.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, as an extra.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wedding in Clanville, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
