Wedding hog roast in Liss
Wedding hog roast in Liss, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater farm weddings and evening receptions, with carved roast pork, salads and halloumi skewers.
For a smaller place like Liss, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Questions from Liss
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Liss from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are normally enough.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.

What affects the price in Liss
Things that change the price:
- The date and time of year
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- Crockery choices
- Access to the cooking area
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
These are the details we need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Roughly how many people
- Anything the venue has asked for
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or GU33 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.
Where the roaster can go in Liss
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Working with your venue
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At midsummer, sunset in Liss is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
