About our wedding hog roast in Burghfield Common
Barn, marquee and garden weddings around Burghfield Common suit a hog roast. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. On the menu are new potatoes, halloumi skewers and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater barn and farm weddings and evening receptions.
In Burghfield Common, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Working with your venue
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Common questions in Burghfield Common
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Burghfield Common from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll fit around changes.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Each price is built from:
- Season and day of the week
- Whether you want china
- Access to the cooking area
- How long the roast and service take
For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Getting an accurate quote
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- Dietary requirements
- The address or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
Getting a quote is simple: date, place, numbers and serving time. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a formal three-course meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels like a feast. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Burghfield Common hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Timed around your day

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
Evening food usually goes out an hour or two after the first dance.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.
