Slow-roasted pork in Curbridge
Wedding hog roast in Curbridge, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and wedding breakfasts, serving crackling, salads and new potatoes.
Weddings in a place like Curbridge often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At a December wedding in Curbridge, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:20pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Questions from Curbridge
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How far is Curbridge from London?
About 65 miles from central London.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How much room do you 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’ll check it with you before booking.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Served at the time you choose
- A choice of salads and potatoes
