A hog roast near Fawley
How our wedding hog roast works in Fawley
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It’s food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are crackling, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are frequently booked for farm weddings and vow renewals and blessings.
Near Fawley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Fawley
Can you roast near the sea around Fawley?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the nearest station to Fawley?
Hamble station, about 3.2 miles north of the centre.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We’ll sort the details with them.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.

Should I cook it myself?

Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
