How our wedding hog roast works in Fareham
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Typical bookings include marquee receptions and late-night wedding food, with halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork.
Couples in Fareham often keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.

How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In Fareham, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is 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’s dark by about 4:00pm.

- 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.
Before we arrive

The price comes down to:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Site access
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.

When you enquire, it helps to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any venue rules
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: fill in our quote form.
