Wedding hog roast in Caldecott, carved to order
The carving station becomes a focal point: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. On the menu are spit-roast lamb, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for vow renewals and blessings and farm weddings.
A farm or garden wedding near Caldecott suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Common questions in Caldecott
Which station is closest to Caldecott?
Culham station, about 2.3 miles east of the centre.
Can you cater after a service at St Helen's Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
We’ll liaise with your venue coordinator, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- Menu choices and extras
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Getting an accurate quote
For a quick, accurate price, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
Not sure how many to cater for? A rough figure is fine for a first quote, then confirm closer to the date. Send us your details through our quote form.
Why choose a hog roast in Caldecott?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why book with us
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- All the equipment comes with us
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
Read our prices page and what a hog roast costs.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At a December wedding in Caldecott, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Let us know about tight access
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
