Wedding hog roast in Lymore
Wedding hog roast in Lymore, slow-roasted on site
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Lymore suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Typical bookings include evening food after the first dance and farm weddings, serving spit-roast lamb, salads and crackling.
Rural weddings around Lymore have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Lymore: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of All Saints?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Where the roaster can go in Lymore
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Permission for outside catering
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for guests who do not eat pork.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Some couples add lights around the serving area; tell your venue or marquee supplier.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and normally costs less per head. It still feels special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

What affects the price in Lymore
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
- The date and time of year
- Site access
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.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- A picture of the cooking area
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SO41 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Golden-hour photos in Lymore at midsummer come around 9:25pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
