About our wedding hog roast in West Itchenor
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. We’re often asked to cater evening food after the first dance and farm weddings, with rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and salads.
Near West Itchenor, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

FAQs for West Itchenor
How far is West Itchenor from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
How long does the roast need?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Who serves?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Of course: carved pork on plates with sides, with our staff serving.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we will liaise with them.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.

Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.

Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
