Wedding hog roast in Curridge
About our wedding hog roast in Curridge
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, and our chef carves on cue. On the menu are halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for evening food after the first dance and garden weddings at home.
Rural weddings around Curridge have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evening food at a Curridge wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A way in for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Curridge
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Curridge too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
