Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Halal is not offered, so plan separately if needed
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
- Count non-pork eaters, so we can add lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
How our wedding hog roast works in Dorney Reach
A hog roast suits relaxed weddings in Dorney Reach: generous, hearty food carved in front of your guests. We serve and tidy up, so the day runs smoothly. For relaxed, low-key weddings and blessings and renewals, we will put together a menu of spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
A wedding in a small place like Dorney Reach often means a field, a barn or a family garden. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. Timings are planned around your wedding, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Dorney Reach
Which station is closest to Dorney Reach?
Taplow station, about 1.1 miles north of the centre.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St James: can you cater?
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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Why choose a hog roast in Dorney Reach?
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast feeds everyone at once from one roast. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.

At a December wedding in Dorney Reach, it is 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.
