How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Liphook, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- 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
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Questions from Liphook
How far is Liphook from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church Centre: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
