Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
How our wedding hog roast works in Hartley Wintney
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so on the day everything is in place. Whether it is farm weddings and evening receptions, we can cook crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Weddings in a place like Hartley Wintney often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Lighting for evening service
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot

Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You will not have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Some couples add lights around the serving area.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, sunset in Hartley Wintney is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
