How our wedding hog roast works in Eversley
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and marquee receptions, serving new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
Rural weddings around Eversley 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. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Common questions in Eversley
Can you do a hog roast in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Eversley 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.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Space, access and the venue
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- A way in for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Permission for outside catering
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. At a December wedding in Eversley, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
