How our wedding hog roast works in Burghclere
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It is food and a bit of theatre. For the day after the wedding and relaxed, low-key weddings, we can cook carved roast pork, salads and crackling.
A wedding in a small place like Burghclere frequently means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen needed, just an outdoor cooking spot. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

The menu, dish by dish

Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Burghclere: your questions answered
Can you cater after a service at Church of the Ascension?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Burghclere close to London?
About 54 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater in Burghclere?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Burghclere and the rest of West Berkshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
We will plan quantities from your numbers, and the quote lists everything.
What about coeliacs?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Working with your venue
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Why choose a hog roast in Burghclere?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

Golden-hour photos in Burghclere at midsummer come around 9:25pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:55pm, and in late September about 7:10pm.
