Wedding hog roast in West Wellow, slow-roasted on site
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access, so on the day everything is in place. Whether it is intimate weddings and the day after the wedding, we can cook spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and salads.
A wedding in a small place like West Wellow frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Lighting for evening service
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- A way in for the roaster

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in West Wellow
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do we need extra food?
With sides, it’s a full wedding breakfast; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Winter weddings in West Wellow are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Name a contact for the day
