There’s something special about a country wedding near Hursley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Your quote spells out what’s included: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, for access and timings.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.

Is Hursley close to London?

Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we will confirm it in writing.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Ask your venue early, and we’ll liaise with them.
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.

Yes, evening food is very popular. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
For planners, venues and organisers
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
What affects the price in Hursley
We work out each quote from:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Distance from us
- How long the roast and service take
Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Tell us your budget and we will suggest what works.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and time of the event
- The venue or postcode

Why choose a hog roast in Hursley?
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What you get with us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal

What happens on the day
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At a December wedding in Hursley, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
