Wedding hog roast in Farley Hill
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Wedding hog roast in Farley Hill, carved to order
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat. We’re frequently asked to cater evening receptions and garden weddings at home, serving new potatoes, halloumi skewers and spit-roast lamb.
A wedding in a small place like Farley Hill often means a field, a barn or a family garden. That’s where a hog roast shines: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Tell us about lanes, gates and ground conditions. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Farley Hill: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St Eligius: 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.
Is Farley Hill too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater in Farley Hill?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Farley Hill and West Berkshire. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
Always outside, away from the marquee walls. Serving inside is fine where allowed.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A short walk from the serving station to the guests
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
