Burghclere Common questions
Can you do a hog roast in Sandleford Priory?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Burghclere Common?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: use our quote form.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Getting an accurate quote
When you enquire, please mention:
- Your menu choices
- Anything the venue has asked for
- What the outdoor space is like
- Rough numbers
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Request gluten-free rolls if needed
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
