Wedding hog roast near Lower Burgate
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include evening receptions and home weddings, serving halloumi skewers, salads and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Lower Burgate often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Site access
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
What we need to know
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china

Common questions in Lower Burgate
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Lower Burgate too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you come to Lower Burgate?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Lower Burgate and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll adjust.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Should I cook it myself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How the day works
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. Evening food at a Lower Burgate wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Step-free access for our equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
