About our wedding hog roast in Catmore
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: it can be held for a while once cooked, so a long speech won’t ruin the food. Typical bookings include vow renewals and blessings and barn and farm weddings, with new potatoes, spit-roast lamb and halloumi skewers.
There is something special about a country wedding near Catmore, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Catmore
Is Catmore too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Margaret?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How do you work out quantities?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we will confirm everything in writing.
Do you cover Catmore?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Catmore and the rest of West Berkshire included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We don’t provide halal meat.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What if our venue has its own caterer?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others do not. We will sort the details with them.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Planners, venues and businesses
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning the cooking spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
- Light near the carving station after dark
- A way in for the roaster
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
Popular choices
- New potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Spit-roast lamb
- Roast or jacket potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Hog roast rolls
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and usually costs less per head. It still feels like a feast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. Every event gets its own quote, with everything listed.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- All the equipment comes with us
- Served at the time you choose
- Serving and clearing done for you

Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. At a December wedding in Catmore, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We confirm the date and the venue and send a price.
- We fit timings around your running order.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Send final numbers in good time

About the food
