Wedding hog roast near Ascot
We work with your venue on the cooking spot, timings and access well before the day, so nothing is left to chance. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and small, informal weddings, with salads, new potatoes and carved roast pork.
Near Ascot, weddings are often in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.

What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station, often with mint sauce.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Ascot, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it is nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- You tell us your date, venue, numbers and whether it is the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings and the cooking spot are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
