Wedding hog roast in Longparish, slow-roasted on site
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Longparish. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. For weddings in a marquee and post-wedding gatherings, we can cook crackling, salads and carved roast pork and more.
There is something special about a country wedding near Longparish, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

FAQs for Longparish
Is Longparish close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
You won’t have to think about the food. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Longparish, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
