Wedding hog roast for Segensworth
Wedding hog roast in Segensworth, slow-roasted on site
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. For marquee weddings and home weddings, we can cook crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Rural weddings around Segensworth have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Segensworth, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
