Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and marquee weddings, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and new potatoes.
A farm or garden wedding near St Mary's suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook. Winter weddings in St Mary's are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
Getting ready for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Name a contact for the day

St Mary's questions
What’s the nearest station to St Mary's?
Southampton Central station, about 0.8 miles west of the centre.
How far is St Mary's from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it is a full wedding breakfast; for evening food, rolls are usually enough.
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.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
