Wedding hog roast in Leckford, slow-roasted on site

Rural weddings around Leckford have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Leckford, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What we serve, 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)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- Lighting for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
