Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Sandy Cross
Could you cook in Aldershot Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Sandy Cross?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you do evening food?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Do you come to Sandy Cross?
Yes, Sandy Cross is in our area. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
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.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we’ll talk you through it.
Wedding hog roast near Sandy Cross
The carving station becomes a focal point: people gather round as the chef carves. It feels like an occasion. Typical bookings include late-night wedding food and rustic barn receptions, with crackling, salads and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Sandy Cross have a magic of their own, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some couples have a formal meal and a hog roast in the evening; others make the hog roast the main meal. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Serving and clearing done for you

The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
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.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. For a summer wedding in Sandy Cross, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
