Wedding hog roast in Cholsey, slow-roasted on site
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Whether it is rustic barn receptions and home weddings, we will put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken and more.
Weddings in a place like Cholsey often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

Why choose a hog roast in Cholsey?
If your venue does its own catering, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. There may be a fee. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why us?
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing turn a pork roll into a hog roast roll, just as they should.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

How we price a hog roast for your wedding
Here’s what affects the price:
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
- Travel to Cholsey
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Your date and serving time
- Roughly how many people
- Any venue rules
- Where the event is
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

What else we do in Cholsey
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Evening food at a Cholsey wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 8:55pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon, and our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff clear the serving area and we leave quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day

Cholsey questions
Do you cater at venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Cholsey close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so tell us your best estimate. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do we need our own staff?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
Check with the venue first: some welcome outside caterers, others don’t. We’ll talk to them about the cooking spot.
