Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Little Atherfield
Do you come out to small places like Little Atherfield?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Will our venue allow a hog roast?
Your venue decides: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
Little Atherfield is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer wedding in Little Atherfield, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:05pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

- Access to the cooking area

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Why choose a hog roast in Little Atherfield?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better late at night. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
