Wedding hog roast in Lyndhurst, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. Typical bookings include home weddings and relaxed, low-key weddings, serving new potatoes, carved roast pork and salads.
Weddings in a place like Lyndhurst frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Allergies and dietary needs

How the day works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In Lyndhurst, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Lyndhurst
Can you cater after a service at Church of Our Lady and St Edward?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Lyndhurst?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can we offer lamb too?
Yes, spit-roast lamb can go alongside the pork.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Where will the roaster go at our wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, and handy for anyone who doesn’t eat pork.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Planning the cooking spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
