About our wedding hog roast in Wickham
As a main meal, the hog roast is served on plates: roast pork, crackling and a choice of sides, on china if you’d like. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and weddings in a marquee, serving halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.
Near Wickham, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten
- Give final numbers in good time
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, quoted separately.

How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In Wickham, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
