A hog roast near Petersfield
Wedding hog roast in Petersfield, carved to order
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Petersfield. We cook outside, under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and late-night wedding food, with spit-roast lamb, new potatoes and crackling.
For a wedding in Petersfield, a marquee in a family garden or a hall with grounds keeps things personal. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
What a hog roast costs
The biggest factors are:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
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 we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Organising for someone else?
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.
Add spit-roast lamb for a second roast.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding in Petersfield. In Petersfield, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Petersfield
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at St Peter's Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
