Wedding hog roast in Hambledon
About our wedding hog roast in Hambledon
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Typical bookings include intimate weddings and blessings and renewals, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork.
There is something special about a country wedding near Hambledon, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We will be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
For event organisers in Hambledon
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Should I cook it myself?

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to other evening food, a hog roast serves a crowd quickly once carving starts. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
