Wedding hog roast in St Mary Bourne, slow-roasted on site
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. On the menu are carved roast pork, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and we are often booked for the day after the wedding and evening food after the first dance.
A wedding in a small place like St Mary Bourne often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

- When they arrive and when the food will be ready
- Whether plates or china are included

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. Winter weddings in St Mary Bourne are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Think about shelter for your guests

FAQs for St Mary Bourne
Do you come out to small places like St Mary Bourne?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to St Mary Bourne?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Why choose a hog roast in St Mary Bourne?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book our hog roast in St Mary Bourne
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
