How our wedding hog roast works in Burghfield Hill

In Burghfield Hill, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Let us know about access. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Planning the cooking spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Permission for outside catering
- Power for lights in the evening
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Give final numbers in good time
Running late? A slow roast can wait a little. Your coordinator can keep us posted.
Lamb alongside the pork gives guests a choice.

Common questions in Burghfield Hill
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.

Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can a hog roast be our wedding breakfast?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
