About our wedding hog roast in Knapp
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include carved roast pork, new potatoes and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater relaxed, low-key weddings and post-wedding gatherings.
Near Knapp, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Questions from Knapp
Do you come out to small places like Knapp?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Knapp?
The closest is Chandlers Ford station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.

What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
What affects the price in Knapp
Your quote depends on:
- Whether you want china
- Numbers
- Time on site
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
For a quick, accurate price, send us:
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
- A picture of the cooking area
Every quote lists the menu, the serving time, staff and plates, so you can compare caterers fairly. Send us your details through our quote form.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. At midsummer, sunset in Knapp 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 7:10pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
Why choose a hog roast in Knapp?
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order
- Sides to make it a full meal
Read our pricing and the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
