Wedding hog roast for Springvale
How our wedding hog roast works in Springvale
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include evening receptions and marquee receptions, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and spit-roast lamb.
In Springvale, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
What you get with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Carved to order by a chef
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Planned to your running order

For planners, venues and organisers
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
What comes off the roaster
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A way in for the roaster
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Springvale: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Springvale?
Winchester station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at St Mary's Church Hall: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll liaise with them.
Will guests be full?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can you cater in Springvale?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Springvale, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, 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 is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
