Wedding hog roast for Grazeley
Wedding hog roast near Grazeley
Evening wedding food has one job: feed hungry dancers. Rolls with roast pork and crackling are just the thing. Popular choices include crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for wedding breakfasts and evening receptions.
There is something special about a country wedding near Grazeley, and slow-roasted pork carved for guests adds to it. Plan firm ground and a route for our vehicle. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A hog roast compared with other options
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

For event organisers in Grazeley

Common questions in Grazeley
What’s the nearest station to Grazeley?
Reading Green Park station, about 2.1 miles north of the centre.
Is Grazeley 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.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.
Can we have a hog roast as the main meal?
Many couples do exactly that, with lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside.
What if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Where do you cook at a marquee wedding?
We cook outside, never inside the marquee, and we agree the spot with your venue.

What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in Grazeley, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so plan a lit path from the party to the food, while a June wedding has light until about 9:25pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- Our chef carves and the team serves and clears.
How to prepare
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
