Wedding hog roast in Linwood, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include post-wedding gatherings and garden weddings at home, with salads, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Linwood, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Just keep us informed.

Common questions in Linwood
Is Linwood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- The date and time of year
- Travel to Linwood
- Which meats and sides you choose
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, with everything listed.
Getting an accurate quote
Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For event organisers in Linwood

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Winter weddings in Linwood are dark by about 4:05pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast without batches coming off a grill. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
