Wedding hog roast for Eton Wick
Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For a summer wedding in Eton Wick, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so evening food is frequently carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.

Eton Wick: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Eton Wick?
The closest is Windsor & Eton Central station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of Saint John the Baptist: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with alternatives for non-pork eaters.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. We will time it around your first dance and band.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
If your venue has an in-house caterer, check whether you can bring in a hog roast. Some venues charge a fee. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why Eton Wick hosts choose us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- All the equipment comes with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- A level, open cooking spot outside the marquee or barn
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
- Light near the carving station after dark
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
