Wedding hog roast near Redenham
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Redenham: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so you can enjoy it. Typical bookings include relaxed, low-key weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides, with spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and carved roast pork.
There’s something special about a country wedding near Redenham, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
What happens on the day
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Golden-hour photos in Redenham at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.

Common questions in Redenham
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Redenham?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 4 miles away.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
What if things run late?
We will be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear the serving area, so you are not left with the mess.
Will guests be full?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Where the roaster can go in Redenham
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

- Spit-roast lamb
- Vegan option (Ve)
