How our wedding hog roast works in Gosport
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We’re frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee and intimate weddings, with salads, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Gosport have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Gosport, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
