Book a hog roast in Cippenham
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Cippenham, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm, which means an evening hog roast is generally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and which meal you’d like.
- We check the venue and the cooking spot and send a price.
- We agree arrival, cooking spot and serving times with you and your venue.
- We roast during the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the agreed time.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
Getting a price
The quickest way to get a price is to tell us the date, where the wedding is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Send us your details through our quote form.

Wedding hog roast near Cippenham
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. For weddings in a marquee and weddings in a family garden, we can cook rotisserie chicken, carved roast pork and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a smaller place like Cippenham, a garden or farm wedding is frequently the dream. We need a level spot and access. The hog is roasted on site at your wedding, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.
For event organisers in Cippenham
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
