Wedding hog roast for Farnborough
About our wedding hog roast in Farnborough
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It is food and a bit of theatre. We are frequently asked to cater blessings and renewals and evening receptions, with carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
London weddings around Farnborough frequently mean a reception at a hired venue, a pub with a garden or a family home. We need an outdoor cooking area clear of the venue, so check with the venue early. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and typically costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.

What else we do in Farnborough
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
What a hog roast costs
There’s no fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Season and day of the week
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what to include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Your menu choices
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or BR6 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a summer wedding in Farnborough, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Farnborough questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Giles the Abbot: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
