Wedding hog roast in Elvetham Heath, carved to order
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. For home weddings and rustic barn receptions, we can cook halloumi skewers, carved roast pork and spit-roast lamb for your guests.
In Elvetham Heath, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
