About our wedding hog roast in South Gorley
For a relaxed wedding in South Gorley, a hog roast hits the right note: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. We are often asked to cater post-wedding gatherings and barn and farm weddings, serving salads, carved roast pork and crackling.
There’s something special about a country wedding near South Gorley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to other evening food, carving serves plenty of people fast. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

FAQs for South Gorley
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is South Gorley too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Will guests be full?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it is several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
The menu, dish by dish
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We’re on site for much of the day, working quietly in the background.

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
How it works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At a December wedding in South Gorley, it’s dark by about 4:05pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
