Wedding hog roast for Stedham
Wedding hog roast near Stedham
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. On the menu are crackling, rotisserie chicken and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and wedding breakfasts.
A wedding in a small place like Stedham frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
What happens on the day
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Evening food at a Stedham wedding often goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
Our staff serve and clear quietly, so the party carries on around us.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A way in for the roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
