Wedding hog roast near South Weirs
We look after guests who do not eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, crackling and carved roast pork, and we are regularly asked to cater weddings in a marquee and the main wedding meal.
Near South Weirs, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. At midsummer, sunset in South Weirs is about 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- We serve, tidy up and slip away.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We’re on site for much of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why South Weirs hosts choose us
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

For planners, venues and organisers
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
South Weirs: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Power for lights in the evening
- A way in for the roaster
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
