The process
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For a summer wedding in Whitchurch, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we tidy our area and leave you to the party.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests

About our wedding hog roast in Whitchurch
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Whitchurch: proper food, carved fresh, with plenty for everyone. Our staff serve and clear, so the day runs smoothly. We’re often asked to cater garden weddings at home and wedding breakfasts with sides, with rotisserie chicken, salads and halloumi skewers.
In Whitchurch, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, for access and timings.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.

About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Whitchurch questions
Which station is closest to Whitchurch?
The closest is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Hallows: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Can we add a second roast?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do you cover Whitchurch?
Yes, Whitchurch is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
