How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Evening food at a Titchfield Common wedding frequently goes out just as the light fades: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

About our wedding hog roast in Titchfield Common
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, with china available on request. Popular choices include salads, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for the day after the wedding and relaxed, low-key weddings.
In Titchfield Common, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
A hog roast or other catering?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.

Titchfield Common weddings: local tips
Titchfield Common is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Titchfield Common and the surrounding area. Titchfield Common is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 7 miles away.
It’s worth telling train travellers that Swanwick station, about 1.5 miles north, is the nearest station. Marrying at St John? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. With the coast within about 3 miles, many venues here have sea views. We’ll plan a sheltered cooking spot.
We cover weddings in every part of PO14 and SO31 and the streets around it. That could mean a wedding in a garden on Balliol Close, Abshot Road and Clarendon Crescent or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Note which guests do not eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Titchfield Common questions
We’re gathering after a service at St John: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is Titchfield Common close to London?
Roughly 67 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available as a second option.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
