Wedding hog roast in Finkley, carved to order
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. We serve new potatoes, salads and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for marquee weddings and post-wedding gatherings.
A wedding in a small place like Finkley often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Finkley questions
Do you come out to small places like Finkley?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Finkley?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll sort the details with them.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Occasions we serve in Finkley
Hot food late in the evening is always welcome, after a night on the dance floor.

Why choose a hog roast in Finkley?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Tell us your budget and we’ll suggest what works.

The process
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Evening food at a Finkley wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Give us a contact number for the day
