About our wedding hog roast in Wrecclesham
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. Whether it’s evening receptions and the day after the wedding, we’ll put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, carved roast pork and new potatoes for your guests.
In Wrecclesham, 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 you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Wrecclesham
Can you do a hog roast in Underdown nature reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
How far is Wrecclesham from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do we need extra food?
Quantities are based on your guest list, and we’ll confirm it in writing.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Golden-hour photos in Wrecclesham at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, it helps to include:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Any venue rules
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The address or postcode
Planning ahead? Popular dates fill up early, so ask early for summer Saturdays and December. Tell us your date and we’ll check it: send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
