Wedding hog roast in Dorney, carved to order
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Hog roast rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling do exactly that. Popular choices include salads, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and typical bookings are for second-day get-togethers and marquee receptions.
A wedding in a small place like Dorney frequently 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. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Stuffing and apple sauce

Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Dorney
What’s the nearest station to Dorney?
The closest is Burnham station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you do a hog roast in Sutherland Grange?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Who serves?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can you work around our timings?
We will be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
The process
From setting up to the last roll, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your wedding in Dorney. For a summer wedding in Dorney, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is normally served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- 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.
- The hog roasts through the afternoon; our chef carves on cue.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster

Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed

- Power for lights in the evening
