Wedding hog roast in Winchfield Hurst, carved to order
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. For evening food after the first dance and post-wedding gatherings, we can cook new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
There is something special about a country wedding near Winchfield Hurst, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
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.

FAQs for Winchfield Hurst
Can you do a hog roast in Calthorpe Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Is Winchfield Hurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can we offer lamb too?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken as a second option.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Do you do evening food?
It is one of our most popular wedding bookings. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.
Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
