How our wedding hog roast works in Eversley Centre
After hours of dancing, guests are hungry. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing, and they’re easy to eat with a drink in hand. Typical bookings include wedding breakfasts and relaxed, low-key weddings, with new potatoes, halloumi skewers and carved roast pork.
There is something special about a country wedding near Eversley Centre, and a whole hog roasting through the afternoon adds to it. Plan a firm route in, especially if it rains. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast wedding breakfast is relaxed and generally costs less per head. It still feels special. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
What you get with us

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. At a December wedding in Eversley Centre, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We set up and roast for hours.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Send final numbers in good time
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand

Working with your venue
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Give us your venue coordinator’s details, so we can sort the cooking spot and timings with them.
For a sit-down meal, ask for china, as an extra.
Should I cook it myself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Your questions about a hog roast for your wedding in Eversley Centre
What’s the nearest station to Eversley Centre?
Crowthorne station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
It works well as a relaxed main meal, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need extra food?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
What we serve, dish by dish
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which suits bigger events.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
What affects the price in Eversley Centre
There’s no fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- How long the roast and service take
- The number of people
- The journey to the venue
- Whether you want china
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
