Wedding hog roast for Wickham
Step by step
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your wedding. In Wickham, midsummer sunset is about 9:20pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.

- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.

Wedding hog roast near Wickham
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and carved roast pork, and we’re regularly asked to cater garden weddings at home and evening receptions.
Weddings in a place like Wickham often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Why choose a hog roast in Wickham?
Compared with a cold evening buffet, hot carved pork beats sandwiches every time late at night. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.

Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it is carved the same way.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.

Which station is closest to Wickham?

Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?

What do you need from us on the day?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What if our venue has its own caterer?

Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
