Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Whiteley
What’s the nearest station to Whiteley?
The closest is Swanwick station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you roast near the sea around Whiteley?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Outside, under its own cover, a safe distance from the marquee. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you cater in Whiteley?
Yes, Whiteley is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
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.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

What else we do in Whiteley
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Remember that stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Our staff serve and clear quietly, and leave you to celebrate.
Choose sides to make it a full meal.
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Whiteley, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
