How our wedding hog roast works in Donnington
Not every guest eats pork, so we plan for that: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat. Whether it’s marquee weddings and wedding breakfasts, we’ll put together a menu of salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes and more.
Weddings in a place like Donnington often feel personal: a local church, then a marquee in a garden or field. We roast outside, well clear of the marquee. Let us know about access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Winter weddings in Donnington are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food.
- Tell us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.

FAQs for Donnington
How far is Donnington from London?
Roughly 52 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast in South Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
