Wedding hog roast in Aldermaston
Questions from Aldermaston
Is Aldermaston close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat is not something we offer.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can we offer lamb too?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
Wedding hog roast in Aldermaston, slow-roasted on site
A slow roast suits a wedding day that runs late: it can be held for a while once cooked, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We serve carved roast pork, spit-roast lamb and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater rustic barn receptions and wedding breakfasts with sides.
A wedding in a small place like Aldermaston frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. That is where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- A route to wheel equipment to the spot
- Permission for outside catering
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Whether you want china
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Numbers
The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
- Your menu choices
- Your date and serving time

A closer look at the menu
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Working with your venue
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

What happens on the day
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At a December wedding in Aldermaston, it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.

- 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.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
