Wedding hog roast in Wymering, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. We are frequently asked to cater weddings in a marquee and relaxed, low-key weddings, serving rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and new potatoes.
Weddings in a place like Wymering often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.

Questions from Wymering
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Wymering?
Wymering has its own station: Cosham station.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Lamb and chicken are both available alongside the hog.
Do you cover Wymering?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Wymering and Portsmouth. Send us the address for a quote.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
