Wedding hog roast in Rockbourne, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, with china available on request. We serve salads, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers, and we are frequently booked for second-day get-togethers and intimate weddings.
A wedding in a small place like Rockbourne often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Perfect for your wedding in Rockbourne
Guests gather round the carving, and it makes a lovely photo.
Whatever the occasion in Rockbourne, a slow roast goes a long way. Bookings frequently include:
- Second-day get-togethers
- Home weddings
- Wedding breakfasts
- Weddings in a marquee
Marrying at Church of St Andrew? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot.
Questions to ask before booking
- Staffing on the day
- Allergen information for every dish
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- Whether VAT is included
Why choose a hog roast in Rockbourne?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What you get with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Rockbourne: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Rockbourne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What happens on the day
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Winter weddings in Rockbourne are dark by about 4:05pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Before we arrive
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
