Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.

Common questions in Droxford
Do you come out to small places like Droxford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Droxford close to London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground, and we agree the spot with your venue.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

- Allergies we should know about
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
Send us the date, the address or SO32 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Fill in our quote form.

The process
A typical booking goes like this: 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 Droxford, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
