About our wedding hog roast in Goring
A hog roast gives your wedding a centrepiece: guests gather, the chef carves and the crackling disappears fast. It feels like an occasion. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater evening receptions and blessings and renewals.
A farm or garden wedding near Goring suits a hog roast. We need a level spot and access. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish.

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember that stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give your coordinator the final menu
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Pass numbers for vegetarians and vegans to us
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.

What affects the price in Goring
We do not use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Time on site
- Travel to Goring
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

FAQs for Goring
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Goring close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is a hog roast OK for a sit-down meal?
Yes. We serve it on plates with salads and potatoes, with china available, with our staff serving.
Is a hog roast enough for a wedding?
For the main meal, add sides such as salads and potatoes; in the evening, rolls on their own work well.
Can the hog roast be for the evening?
It’s one of our most popular wedding bookings. Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling go down well after dancing.
