Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Planning a wedding hog roast in North Hayling
North Hayling is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. Thinking about a hog roast for your wedding in North Hayling? We can help. North Hayling is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from North Hayling to Southampton (20 miles away).
Couples marrying at local churches such as Church of St Peter often hold the reception nearby, with the roast cooking through the ceremony. Among the historic houses close to North Hayling are Warblington Castle (1.5 miles north). If your reception is at a historic house or estate, ask early about its rules on caterers and gas cooking. The sea is within about 4 miles, so seaside venues are close. We will plan a sheltered cooking spot.
Weddings anywhere in PO11 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. That could mean a wedding in a garden on Church Lane, St Peter's Road and St Peter's Avenue or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In North Hayling, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
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.

Common questions in North Hayling
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is North Hayling from London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. We can serve inside the marquee if the supplier agrees.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
