Within reach of Mansbridge are historic houses such as South Stoneham House (0.5 miles west) and Southampton Tudor House and Garden (3.2 miles south-west).

- How easy it is to reach the spot

How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. Winter weddings in Mansbridge are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.

Organising for someone else?

For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why book with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Planned to your running order
- No surprises: everything in writing
Read our pricing and what a hog roast costs.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give your coordinator the final menu
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance, timed with you in advance.
Salads, new potatoes and roast potatoes make a full wedding breakfast.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
