How our wedding hog roast works in Peartree Green
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is vow renewals and blessings and late-night wedding food, we can cook spit-roast lamb, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
Weddings in a place like Peartree Green frequently feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At a December wedding in Peartree Green, it is 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.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which works well for larger groups.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
We are on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
Common questions in Peartree Green
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you roast near the sea around Peartree Green?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and the quote lists everything.
Can we offer lamb too?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Do you cover Peartree Green?
We do. Send us the address and we will check the date.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A way in for the roaster
- A safe distance from marquee walls, buildings and trees
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
