Slow-roasted pork in Odiham
How our wedding hog roast works in Odiham
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. We’re often asked to cater barn and farm weddings and garden weddings at home, serving rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
Weddings in a place like Odiham often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Odiham: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Odiham?
Hook station, about 2.1 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Odiham from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Is mains power needed?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
What affects the price in Odiham
Things that change the price:
- Access to the cooking area
- The journey to the venue
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- An estimate of numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your wedding: send us your details through our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening food at a Odiham wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food 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.
Preparing for the day

Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
