Wedding hog roast in Walhampton, slow-roasted on site
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. The hog roasts slowly at your venue through the afternoon, then carve at the time you’ve set. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee and wedding breakfasts, serving carved roast pork, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Rural weddings around Walhampton have a magic of their own, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.

Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Give final numbers in good time
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Walhampton
Which station is closest to Walhampton?
Lymington Town station, in Walhampton itself.
We are gathering after a service at United Reform Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, and our staff serve your guests.
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.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
