Wedding hog roast near Harbridge
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. We’re often asked to cater late-night wedding food and post-wedding gatherings, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
Near Harbridge, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll tell you what we can send.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Any venue rules
- Dietary requirements
- Roughly how many people
- What the outdoor space is like
Tell us your date, venue or postcode and roughly how many people, plus when you’d like to eat. We will check the date and send a quote. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Evening food at a Harbridge 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.
