Slow-roasted pork in Twineham
Wedding hog roast near Twineham
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It’s food and a bit of theatre. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and garden weddings at home, serving crackling, new potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
A wedding in a small place like Twineham often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We roast through the afternoon and carve at the agreed time.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, sunset in Twineham is about 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
