How our wedding hog roast works in Horseport
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include late-night wedding food and barn and farm weddings, with salads, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Horseport, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
Space, access and the venue
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Horseport: your questions answered
Is Horseport too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A picture helps.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Many do, but some only allow approved caterers or charge a fee. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
For event organisers in Horseport
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Horseport are dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
