How our wedding hog roast works in Walderton
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech will not ruin the food. Whether it is post-wedding gatherings and the main wedding meal, we can cook rotisserie chicken, salads and spit-roast lamb.
Near Walderton, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
We serve and clear without fuss, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.

- Lighting for evening service
- Permission for outside catering
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
