About our wedding hog roast in Leigh Park
A wedding hog roast can be the wedding breakfast, the evening food or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include intimate weddings and wedding breakfasts, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
For a smaller place like Leigh Park, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Why choose a hog roast in Leigh Park?
If your venue has an in-house caterer, ask whether outside caterers are allowed for evening food. There may be a fee. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Questions from Leigh Park
How far is Leigh Park from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Leigh Park?
The closest is Havant station, roughly 1 mile away.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
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.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will tell you what we can send.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster

A closer look at the menu
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station, frequently with mint sauce.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Evening food at a Leigh Park wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
