Wedding hog roast in Longmoor
Wedding hog roast near Longmoor
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Popular choices include spit-roast lamb, crackling and halloumi skewers, and we are regularly asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and wedding breakfasts with sides.
There is something special about a country wedding near Longmoor, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Permission for outside catering

FAQs for Longmoor
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?

Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
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 offer gluten-free rolls?

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels special. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We’ll be at the venue for most of the day, working quietly in the background.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.

How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Evening food at a Longmoor wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
