Wedding hog roast in Greatham, carved to order
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Greatham suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Typical bookings include post-wedding gatherings and marquee weddings, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Greatham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

- Rotisserie chicken
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Spit-roast lamb

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:

- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
Common questions in Greatham
Do you come out to small places like Greatham?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Greatham?
The closest is Liss station, roughly 2 miles away.
How soon do you get booked up?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.

Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are typically enough.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
