Wedding hog roast for Bracknell
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Bracknell, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting at the carving station.
- Tell us whether it’s the wedding breakfast, the evening or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Bracknell questions
We are gathering after a service at Holy Trinity Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Bracknell?
Bracknell has its own station: Bracknell station.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Do you come to Bracknell?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will fit around changes.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can we add a second roast?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the hog.
