Wedding hog roast in Lee
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power. Golden-hour photos in Lee at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

How our wedding hog roast works in Lee
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. We’re often asked to cater second-day get-togethers and relaxed, low-key weddings, serving halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Near Lee, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What else we do in Lee
Planning the cooking spot

- Light near the carving station after dark
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you

Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
Lee weddings: local tips
Lee is about 2 miles south of Romsey, in Hampshire. Weddings in Lee are part of our patch. Lee is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater.
Wedding photographers in the area frequently head for Testwood Lakes, and the countryside around Lee suits an outdoor reception. For guests travelling by train, the nearest station is Romsey station, about 2.4 miles north. With the New Forest National Park within about 8 miles, there are country venues, barns and gardens nearby. Check the cooking spot with the venue. With the coast within about 6 miles, many venues here have sea views. We will think about shelter from sea breezes.
We cater weddings across SO51 and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Lee Lane and Lee Church Lane, and a wedding on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. If your venue is just outside Lee, we also cover Ashfield (1 mile east), Toothill (1 mile east), Upton (1 mile south-east), Nursling (1 mile south-east) and Rownhams (2 miles south-east).

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- How long the roast and service take
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, so we quote each one individually.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
Every wedding is quoted on its own, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Tell us about your wedding for a quote: use our quote form.
