About our wedding hog roast in East Lockinge
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is evening receptions and intimate weddings, we can cook carved roast pork, halloumi skewers and salads and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near East Lockinge, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How far is East Lockinge from London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.

Step by step

In East Lockinge, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
