About wedding hog roast in West Berkshire

Barn, marquee and garden weddings around West Berkshire suit a hog roast. The roaster cooks outside under cover, and serve inside where the venue allows. We serve halloumi skewers, new potatoes and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for farm weddings and evening food after the first dance.

Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.

Wedding settings across West Berkshire

Couples in West Berkshire choose everything from venues in Newbury, Thatcham and Burghfield Common to marquees in village gardens. A hog roast suits the outdoor and rustic end especially well. Parts of West Berkshire are within a few miles of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape, where some venues have extra rules about cooking and vehicles.

Newbury: Marrying at St Nicolas Church? A reception in a garden, barn or marquee close by gives the roaster an outdoor spot. Guests coming by rail will want to know that Newbury has its own station, Newbury station. Winter weddings in Newbury are dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding

There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:

The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Season and day of the week

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Wedding breakfasts with sides
Small, informal weddings

Catered or do it yourself?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

West Berkshire questions

How long does a hog roast take to cook?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Who serves?

You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

How much will it be?

Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.

What if our venue has its own caterer?

Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will talk to them about the cooking spot.

Do we need extra food?

For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; for evening food, rolls are generally enough.

What about coeliacs?

We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How much room do you need?

Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
