Wedding hog roast in Rushmoor, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. We are frequently asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and marquee receptions, serving salads, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
A wedding in a small place like Rushmoor frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Rushmoor questions
Is Rushmoor close to London?
About 37 miles from central London.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can you work around our timings?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
You won’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Step-free access for our equipment
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Rushmoor, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
