Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A way in for the roaster
- A serving area close to where guests eat

About our wedding hog roast in Langstone
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for marquee weddings and garden weddings at home.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Langstone, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Langstone questions
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Nicholas' Chapel: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What do people get?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We are on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
