Slow-roasted pork in Begbroke
Wedding hog roast near Begbroke
For the wedding breakfast, a hog roast becomes a plated meal: carved pork with salads, new potatoes or roast potatoes, on china if you’d like. We’re frequently asked to cater evening food after the first dance and weddings in a family garden, serving halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and salads.
A wedding in a small place like Begbroke frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Planners, venues and businesses
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
What to tell us
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- The date and when you’d like to eat

The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. For a summer wedding in Begbroke, the sun sets at about 9:30pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, 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.

- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.

Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a wedding barbecue, one roast feeds all your guests together without batches coming off a grill. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What else we do in Begbroke
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
FAQs for Begbroke
How far is Begbroke from London?
About 57 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Philip?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Lighting for evening service
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
