Wedding hog roast near Pachesham Park
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Pachesham Park. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. For late-night wedding food and blessings and renewals, we can cook salads, crackling and carved roast pork and more.
A wedding in a small place like Pachesham Park frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.

Spit-roast lamb

Is Pachesham Park too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

Do venues allow outside hog roasts?

Details that help

- What the outdoor space is like
- Which meats and sides you’d like
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- A serving area close to where guests eat
- Light near the carving station after dark
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Pachesham Park, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Getting ready for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Gather dietary requirements early
