Our wedding hog roast in Wokingham

Your venue and we agree the cooking spot and timings, so on the day everything is in place. We are often asked to cater wedding breakfasts with sides and anniversary vow renewals, serving crackling, rotisserie chicken and new potatoes.

Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away.

  1. Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
  2. We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
  3. We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
  4. We set up and roast for hours.
  5. We carve and serve, then clear away.

Weddings across Wokingham: venues and settings

Wokingham offers town venues in Reading, Woodley and Earley and countryside settings across 21 villages and hamlets. Whatever you choose, we agree the cooking spot with your venue.

Reading: Among the historic houses close to Reading are Mapledurham House (3.6 miles north-west). Historic houses and estates frequently have rules on outside caterers, so check early if that is your venue. Wedding photographers in the area often head for Fobney Island Wetland Reserve, and the countryside around Reading suits an outdoor reception. In Reading, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:10pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Organising for someone else?

Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

A hog roast compared with other options

Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast.

What your quote should include

  • The full menu and the sides
  • Where the roaster goes and what it needs
  • What crockery is supplied
  • Exactly what’s included in the price

Should I cook it myself?

Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
