Wedding hog roast in Privett
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Wedding hog roast in Privett, carved to order
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and salads, and we’re regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and the main wedding meal.
Rural weddings around Privett have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Permission for outside catering
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A way in for the roaster
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Privett: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Privett?
Petersfield station, about 4.7 miles south-east of the centre.
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 will follow the site rules.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Your venue decides: rules vary. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How soon do you get booked up?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you cover Privett?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.

Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Evening food at a Privett wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Served at the time you choose
Take a look at how we price and what a hog roast costs.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
