Wedding hog roast near West Meon
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in West Meon: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so you can enjoy it. We serve carved roast pork, salads and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater farm weddings and wedding breakfasts with sides.
A wedding in a small place like West Meon frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Let us know about access and ground. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

West Meon questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you roast in the rain?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Can we just hire the roaster?
Yes, for confident cooks. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do you do evening food?
Of course. We’ll time it around your first dance and band.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.

- Give final numbers in good time
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
