Wedding hog roast in Northam, carved to order
Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so nothing is left to chance. For second-day get-togethers and wedding breakfasts, we will put together a menu of carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and crackling and more.
For a smaller place like Northam, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need a level spot and access. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Northam questions
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Augustine?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you do a hog roast in East Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you cover Northam?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Northam and Southampton. Send us the address for a quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evening food at a Northam wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A way in for the roaster
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

What a hog roast costs

- Plates or china

For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
